The nemocytes is a stinging organ that releases various antigenic toxins which induce a host immune response. Pressure, as well as exposure to freshwater, lead to the discharge of a protective organ called a nemocytes.
Both of these species are small enough to become entrapped underneath swimwear. The eruption is caused by two saltwater species of Cnidarians: the thimble Jellyfish ( Linuche unguiculata) and a sea anemone ( Edwardsiella lineata). Seabather's eruption (SBE), also known as "Sea Lice," is pruritic dermatitis found in a bathing suit distribution and at sites of friction after bathing in the ocean. This activity describes the pathophysiology, presentation and treatment of seabather's eruption, and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in caring for patients with this condition. Those with a history of SBE are also at increased risk and tend to have more severe presentations. Children less than 15 years old have higher risk of SBE. Typically, this eruption is seen during the spring and summer with higher incidence in May and June. Pressure, as well as exposure to freshwater, lead the organisms to discharge a protective organ called a nemocytes.
