There is a tendency of some researchers to standardize the treatments for envenomation caused by jellyfish and Portuguese man-o´-wars in the current publications, with authors trying to highlight their research in own country. I think that different species of cnidarians cause different clinical conditions. For example: we observed thousands of injuries in bathers during the summer period in the southern region of Brazil, but they are mild to moderate envenomation and there is not a single death recorded in these hundreds of thousands of cases, which are caused by small jellyfish (Olindias sambaquiensis and Chrysaora lactea). This is not the reality in other countries (mainly those bathed by the Indian and Pacific Oceans) and we must respect the fact that each area has a profile of cnidarians and, mainly, a first aid model to be applied...

I would like to read the opinion of researchers in this area about my opinion.
