00:00:00.900 --> 00:00:04.360
<v 0>An update tonight on your beach forecast, we're talking sunny, warm,</v>

2
00:00:04.420 --> 00:00:05.760
and a chance of manana.

3
00:00:05.760 --> 00:00:06.200
<v 1>Wars. Yeah.</v>

4
00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:10.560
These creatures are washing up on beaches and they can really pack a punch Fox

35 S Christie Kern joins us live tonight and Christie,

6
00:00:13.440 --> 00:00:16.280
the conditions out there are perfect for manana war.

7
00:00:18.300 --> 00:00:20.240
<v 2>Lou and John that's exactly right. Manana war.</v>

8
00:00:20.240 --> 00:00:23.150
Can they wash up on these beaches? Really? Any time of year,

9
00:00:23.170 --> 00:00:27.270
but beach patrol says it's more commonly that we see them when the winds there's

10
00:00:27.290 --> 00:00:30.510
strong wind coming in, like we're seeing tonight. And they also say,

11
00:00:30.510 --> 00:00:32.230
if you're here at the beach during the day,

12
00:00:32.230 --> 00:00:35.590
you're likely going to see those purple flags flying to Warren swimmers.

13
00:00:36.400 --> 00:00:38.910
These are washing a shore and new Sam beach.

14
00:00:39.210 --> 00:00:40.950
<v 3>Manana wars. You just don't mess with the,</v>

15
00:00:41.040 --> 00:00:42.860
and just like anything else in the ocean.

16
00:00:43.170 --> 00:00:46.660
<v 2>They're man of war. And while some vacationers may be surprised,</v>

17
00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:48.340
the locals are familiar.

18
00:00:48.400 --> 00:00:50.020
<v 4>It got stung by one, not too long ago.</v>

19
00:00:50.020 --> 00:00:53.500
And it had a tentacle mark across my arm and it, uh,

20
00:00:53.980 --> 00:00:55.820
I didn't have to go to the hospital or anything, or, you know,

21
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:57.100
it it's aggravating.

22
00:00:57.320 --> 00:01:01.020
<v 2>Fox 35 viewers are even sending us photos of what they're seeing this man and</v>

23
00:01:01.020 --> 00:01:05.410
war was for out on Sunday at platoon beach, the mat war are like jellyfish,

24
00:01:05.550 --> 00:01:10.010
but their sting can really pack a punch Kavana O'Donnell knows firsthand.

25
00:01:10.230 --> 00:01:14.130
<v 4>It was painful, but it was more just kind of a, just, just a weird sensation.</v>

26
00:01:14.510 --> 00:01:15.810
<v 2>If you are stung by a mat war,</v>

27
00:01:15.810 --> 00:01:18.690
there is some important information you need to know about how to treat that

28
00:01:18.700 --> 00:01:21.970
sting. According to the school of ocean and earth science and technology.

29
00:01:22.340 --> 00:01:25.680
The very best thing that you can do is to rinse the sting with vinegar,

30
00:01:25.790 --> 00:01:30.760
then remove the tentacles and also immerse yourself in hot water or use

31
00:01:30.800 --> 00:01:32.480
a hot pack for 45 minutes.

32
00:01:33.100 --> 00:01:37.000
<v 5>The man of war can be, uh, very painful if you get stung by them.</v>

33
00:01:37.420 --> 00:01:40.360
So we do encourage people. If you get stung by a man of war, uh,

34
00:01:40.360 --> 00:01:42.280
exit the water flag down a lifeguard.

35
00:01:42.670 --> 00:01:45.350
<v 2>Ellucian county beach patrol, warns people to be careful,</v>

36
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:49.230
still Gavin O'Donnell says they won't keep him out of the water.

37
00:01:49.370 --> 00:01:51.830
<v 4>You just have to be cautious. You know, we're, we're in there,</v>

38
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:54.310
we're in their territory. They live out there. I don't.

39
00:01:57.570 --> 00:01:58.660
<v 2>Well, beach patrol says,</v>

40
00:01:58.660 --> 00:02:01.420
fortunately they haven't seen a lot of people in the water lately because the

41
00:02:01.420 --> 00:02:03.060
water has been pretty cool. It,

42
00:02:03.170 --> 00:02:07.690
they say they generally see more stings when the water is warmer lives nights in
