“…In a study on injuries caused by aquatic animals, cnidarians caused nearly 25% of 250 envenoming cases in Brazilian bathers in the Southeast region of Brazil [2][3][4][5][6][7] . Clinical manifestations of the envenoming generally follow a clear pattern of symptoms and signs.…”

“…The most characteristic features are linear erythematous plaques and intense pain, which are present from the moment of contact. Cnidarian species in the West Atlantic Ocean (Brazil, Caribbean, USA) are similar and rarely provoke systemic manifestations, but a minority of patients experience systemic effects that can include dyspnea, malaise, arterial hypotension, and cardiac arrhythmias 2,3,4,5,6 .…”

“…unguiculata (Efira, planula larvae, and adult jellyfish), and that it differs clinically according to the morphology of the skin lesion and time of year of the incident. L. unguiculata is a small Scyphozoa, approximately 1.5 cm in diameter, and is common in marine waters of the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico and Western North Atlantic (Florida, Cuba and Bahamas), where there are numerous reports of SBE, which can reach epidemic proportions (Haddad Jr 2008, Rossetto et al 2009, Haddad Jr et al 2002.…”

“…Cnidarians are characteristic of both pelagic and benthic habitats inasmuch as several of them have a complex life cycle including polyps (mostly benthic and sessile) and medusae (mostly planktonic and swimming). Besides their obvious ecological importance, cnidarians in general have significant impacts on human life, including commercial (e.g., for tourism, pharmaceutics, fisheries) (UNEP, 1991;Purcell et al, 2001), environmental (e.g., as habitat indicators) and medical interests (e.g., Freitas et al, 1995;Morandini & Marques, 1997;Marques et al, 2002;Haddad Jr. et al, 2002). Moreover, they are amongst the most basal animals, being particularly important in evolutionary studies (e.g., cf.…”
