Is there any dangers on the beaches that nudity increases the risk of? I was thinking specifically of if there's a possibility fish biting guys. Is that an actual concern or myth?

Good Luck with that plan I'm sure it will work ... Ha Ha

Let us all know how it works. (-_-) LOL

That sounds exactly like what I had. A couple comments though...the web site says..."If you suspect you've been exposed to sea lice, exit the water immediately, remove your bathing suit, and shower thoroughly." I had already done the second action before I even went in the water. Second, can I bring a copy of these actions from the web site next time I am at Gunnison? The showers are not in the nude area like some other beaches I've heard of, so if a Ranger comes up to me...I can just show him the paper and say I was just following the advice from the web site. Thanks for the info.

Free2be,
You hit on being a small jelly fish, in fact it could have been Sea Lice.

Sea lice are actually the microscopic larvae of jellyfish and other ocean stingers which contain the same nematocysts (stinging cells) as mommy and daddy. In many areas of the Gulf and Caribbean the primary culprit causing "sea lice" infestations is the larvae of the thimble jellyfish. These larvae, sometimes half a millimeter in length or smaller, can become trapped between the bathing suit and skin or in crevices like the armpit and compressed, causing the stinging cells to fire.

Naturally, dihydromonoxide in the water can be a concern, too, but for most folks it is not something they should worry about if they use the normal precautions that we are all taught about.

Yikes...definitely didn't get it that bad. Mostly just constant itch but it would get worse after a shower and I heard regular water would bring out the toxins. Obviously, some jelly fish stings are worse than others...maybe it was a small jelly fish and I just got grazed. I may never know for sure, but thanks for the info Diger.

Free2b,
You would know for sure if it had been a jellyfish. It would have been like a hot poker being stuck to you and it would not have stopped till you removed the jelly by rubbing it off with sand or washing it off with vinegar.

To get back on track a little...has anyone ever been stung by a jellyfish? I developed an itchy rash (where I don't want an itchy rash) last Sept. after a visit to Gunnison. Tried treating over the counter because I just thought it was a rash or sunburn. Didn't go away, so I ended up going to the Dr. and he gave me some steroidal cream and it finally cleared up. Read a post somewhere about jellyfish and the symptoms of getting stung were very similar to what I had. Just wondering if anyone else knows what it is like to get stung...I'm only assuming that might be what happened to me...but can't say for sure as I don't remember seeing any jellyfish in the water.

Sorry about that. I'm new to the site and still learning my way around. Depending on how you come on to a thread does make a difference. I thought I was just posting under Safety at the beach...didn't notice the sub header. Thanks for the link...I will see if that answers my questions.
Admin Posted - 01/05/2010 : 06:16:57 AM
That would make a great new topic. A good place to put it would be here.

Let's keep this thread on topic. The topic here is Water Hazards.

What about sun block or sun screen? The higher the SPF the better...but what about spray vs. lotion? I tried a spray this past summer as I was going alone and thought a spray would get my back better. I didn't burn in the three times I went but a bottle of spray does not last as long and they are fairly pricy...compared to lotions. What does everyone else use? Don't need to use brand names...just which do people prefer...spray or lotion?

I remember an incident several years ago at a California club's small lake when a member was nipped by a fish on the end of his penis. He wasn't hurt, but had to put up with the other members' jokes about the fish mistaking it for a worm!

No I don't know of any increased risks from eing nude at a beach but there are some risks at any beach. I saw they are having an invasion of Flying Humbolt Squid in Southern California they even attacked a female diver. I doubt it would make dfference if you are nude or not.

the last time we were at apollo beach a small shark swam past my feet, i wasn't concerned at his nibbling as much as his cousin biting !

It can be quite dangerous to go swimming in the Pacific Ocean on the western U.S. coast in some areas. You might find yourself being pulled under the water by the tide. It's only 55 degrees in this water to boot.

I know of a hazard that being naked will help with. Sea Lice will get traped under your swimsuit and sting, then remain in your swimsuit till it is washed.
