    Used to see these a lot 20+ years ago, when I went boat fishing out of Weymouth, about the size of a dustbin. They turn up most years, but I don't know anyone who ever go stung by one.

    Nothing to worry about, they arrive every year with the warm weather and warmer gulf stream. There was only 30 PMOW spotted last year, recon you've more chances of winning the lotto than being stung by one

    I think another sensationalist headline to shock beach goers.
