Portuguese Men o'War invade Med for first time in a decade


Anyone planning to take a Mediterranean holiday in defiance of the plunging pound may be stung by something more painful than the exchange rate: the killer Portuguese Man o' War, one of the world's most poisonous jellyfish.

The graceful glutinous creature, whose trailing tentacles carry a potentially lethal poison, was spotted this week off Spain's favourite beaches for the first time in 10 years.

  1. Anyone with M.E./Gulf war syndrome/ Fibromyalgia/ Organo-phosphate poisong/ chronic Lyme disease/Camelford Water poisoning etc should watch out for the Psychiatrist 'Man o' Lies'.

    He is greedy grasping glutinous creature, whose biased unscientific research results carry a potentially lethal sting.
