The floating sail-shaped structure (pneumatophore) uses wind power to propel the colony, while the submerged structure is formed by translucent, blue-tinged tentacles that can extend as much as 20 meters. Each of these structures has specialized functions such as digestion (gastrozoids), reproduction (gonozoides) and the capture of prey and defense (dactylozoides), the latter through the activation of the irritating urticariogenic cells of the Cnidaria phylum, called cnidocytes.<\/p>\n<p>This species is native to the<strong> Atlantic Ocean<\/strong>, so its presence in the <strong>Mediterranean Sea<\/strong> is dependent on weather conditions (winds, currents, etc.) that allow certain individuals to enter the Strait of Gibraltar. The Portuguese Man O&#8217;War cannot survive high-temperature waters, so the specimens present in the Mediterranean will die with the arrival of summer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The sting of the Portuguese Man O&#8217;War is not deadly<\/strong>.\u00a0The fact is that there are <strong>at-risk groups<\/strong> formed by people <strong>allergic to the toxin, people with heart disease and\/or elderly or infants<\/strong>, where the sting can lead to complications that put their health at risk.\u00a0In general, <strong>the sting of the Portuguese Man O&#8217;War does not lead to death<\/strong>, but causes severe pain to humans, leaving whip-like, red welts on the skin.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8085 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/cienciagandia.webs.upv.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/medusas-carabela-e1531896522212.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"263\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To treat the sting, <strong>the tentacles or fragments should immediately be removed without rubbing them<\/strong>, either using a credit card or tweezers.
