With summer approaching, more and more people are thinking about where they will spend their vacation. Egypt is undoubtedly one of the favorite destinations of Slovaks. Experts and experienced travelers warn of the dangers lurking in the Red Sea. He shared his experience in this area Czech tourist Pavel, who had no idea that his life was in danger.
He got into a – at first glance – innocent situation, which he will never forget. “I’m walking along the beach in Safaga and at low tide I suddenly see a beautiful seashell. I picked her up from the ground, put her in my swimsuit pocket and carried her to the lounger. There I started googling it (looking for information, editor’s note) and in a second I was flying to throw it back into the sea.” described in the introduction.
He subsequently admitted that he had taken an ill-advised step. “Never, seriously never make the same mistake I did,” emphasized Cech, who narrowly escaped death.
“It was the Homolica mapova, one of the most dangerous animals in the Red Sea. Perhaps by sheer luck she was dead, in shock or asleep, so she didn’t stab me. There is no antidote to its poison, and everyone has to fight it out on artificial lung ventilation. The death rate for a sting from a hornbill is one in four,” he relayed the information he found on the Internet.
For this reason, he decided to warn people who plan to spend their holidays in Egypt. “So don’t touch any animals or plants in the sea with your bare hands and wear shoes in the water honestly. Even on the “safe” cleaned beach of the resort, all kinds of things can wash up. A I threw at least one in there. By the way, he has his “living room” on the sandy beaches near the corals, so Safaga is teeming with hummingbirds. They are active mainly at night and during the day they are buried in the sand, but one step is enough and you play the lottery one to four.” it points to a gamble with life that doesn’t pay off.
At the end, he adds an important reminder that his goal is not to spread panic, but a healthy respect for nature. “The post is not meant to cause fear, you just need to realize that danger can lurk everywhere and it pays to follow the basic safety recommendations. A cockroach stings maybe three to four people a year, and it would be a huge coincidence if it was you, but what if?’ ends with a question that should be on every tourist’s mind before stepping into the sea with bare feet.
