Around sixty people were treated for minor jellyfish stings in Volusia County beaches on Saturday, according to authorities. <\/p>\n
Volusia County beach safety officers said personnel treated the wounds with a vinegar mixture. <\/p>\n
They also successfully rescued 27 people out of the water, as hazardous rip current conditions have remained since last week. Despite afternoon thunderstorms with lightning that forced authorities to close certain parts of the beach, the areas were later reopened to beach goers, according to spokesman Aaron Jenkins. <\/p>\n
A 61-year-old man died on July 14 at Ormond Beach. Lifeguards pulled him out of the water and performed CPR, but were unable to revive him. <\/p>\n
Another 61-year-old man from Ohio was rescued at Daytona Beach a day later. <\/p>\n
