Finally my daughter is old enough and so are her little friends with their parents along for daytrips to close islands on the GBR in FNQ to swim and snorkel the coral areas at the islands edge.
Boat rules are any kids to be allowed come on these trips they must have and wear stinger suits, booties and gloves.....but this still doesn't protect them absolutely in the rare chance a bad stinger does come along, it does even the score at least.
The problem is the mites/whatever and other nuisance stingers/bities in these highly productive close inshore coral fringing waters, these will still find a way in to sting soft skin at a high nuisance level for kids as they are there in their billions the whole time.
Does anyone know of a cream or jelly or something that could be applied to kids necks and chest that works to create a barrier for these nuisances.
