Scubaism

An 18 year old woman was celebrating her promotion with her fellow reservist cadet officers at the Playa del Sur Beach Resort in Barangay Calumpang, Cauayan, when she and two others were stung by box jellyfish.

She was rushed into the hospital within 5 minutes, but was pronounced dead on arrival. The hospital chief said she died from anaphylactic shock due to her allergic reaction to the toxins from the jellyfish. A sting from a jellyfish is rarely fatal.
