Backstroke in the Levant
While swimming off the coast of Tel Aviv last Tuesday, Ghazi had a very painful encounter with a recent invader of Mediterranean waters, the so-called Medusa (Rhopilema nomadica).
According to this article in Philologos, these are indopacific creatures which migrated north from the Red Sea through the Suez Canal.
The welts left by the Medusa on Ghazi's arm and back were taken quite seriously by physicians in the family; Mahmoud Nashashibi, a cousin, brought him prescription antehistimines and antiobiotics, and was concerned to know whether Ghazi's tetanus protection was current.
Yuk.
