I am headed to Langkawi for a couple of months thus July. I was considering picking up a rashguard to combat this...issue. I love swimming, and reducing the amount of skin hit by a sting can be life or death with box jellyfish. Also, I am very pale and the sun protection doesn't hurt.
I don't want to omni this, but we are really reaping what we sow with warming oceans, the die-off of jellyfish predators like turtles, and the sheer volume of run-off & sewage.
