    The blue bottle jellyfish are one of the few if not the only ones where you should not apply vinegar to the affected area

    • Carefully remove any remaining tentacles by gently washing the area in sea water and carefully picking off any tentacles, taking care to avoid further stings, preferably by wearing gloves.
    • Washing the site of the sting with vinegar is NOT recommended for bluebottle stings.
    • Immerse the area where the bluebottle sting has occurred in hot water (45 degrees Celsius – no hotter than the rescuer can comfortably tolerate) for at least 20 minutes or, if this is not possible, direct a hot shower on the area for this length of time.
    • Use of hot water is more effective at reducing the pain of bluebottle stings than the previously advised use of ice packs and cold water. However, if hot water is not available a cold pack may help.
    • If after this treatment there is continuing pain, itchiness or blistering at the site of the sting, it would be best to visit a doctor who might prescribe a topical treatment such as a cortisone cream to reduce the inflammatory reaction.

    Thank you for taking the effort to post this report.

    I am a meat eater and enjoy pork, but the horrific, filthy, disgusting conditions both for the pigs and the workers in these images is something that should be brought to everybody's attention. I am not normally shocked when confronted with European N.American slaughterhouses that usually conform to strict regulations BUT how the hell do they even get a license for butchering and processing the meat is beyond me. I am sure the conditions at the CP group facilities must be better. Or are they? 

    I will certainly view the meat section in the supermarkets from a different perspective now.

     

    You are very welcome @ratcatcher, thank you for reading it. My purpose for posting this educational article was to inform the reader of the ugly food production reality in Thailand "The kitchen of the World", and to trigger disgust, horror,  outrage and repulsion. Please share this article if you can and help me educate more people about this shameful, unregulated  practice. 

     

    "How the hell do they even get a license for butchering and processing the meat?"

     

    I wish someone could answer your legitimate question right here, right now.

     

    "I am sure the conditions at the CP group facilities must be better. Or are they? "

     

    Please read this article posted last September.

    Now sure why you suggest a law office to do it when there many professional translation services that can do it.

     

    Suggestion made from personal experience. My Embassy did  not accept  a translation from a translation agency so I went to a small law office (Victory Monument area) got my translation done and certified by the office. 

    Used their translation services ever since  and never got a problem.
