Hundreds of reddish-colored jellyfish are invading the Space Coast beaches, stinging Memorial Day weekend beach-goers. County Rescue reported more than 200 jellyfish stings Saturday and by 3 p.m. Sunday, the icky creatures claimed another 200-plus sting victims, primarily in the Cocoa Beach area. Traditionally a huge weekend for the beach, these creepy things have chased away a lot of people, taking with them much-needed business. They can't get into the water because there's so many jellyfish. Lifeguard stands offered victims spray-on vinegar to neutralize stinging cells. Benadryl & Lidocaine cream help, too. This writer saw only one of the creepy blobs at Patrick, so they must like Cocoa Beach better.
