Thousands of people have been stung by venomous Portuguese man o' war, also known as physalia, on beaches in France and Spain over the past two weeks. These creatures, resembling jellyfish, are typically found in tropical waters but have been migrating to European coasts due to abnormal heat. Their stings can cause severe pain, breathing problems, heart issues, and allergic shock, with some cases requiring hospitalization. Authorities have issued warnings and closed beaches in affected areas.
