That time of year. They should be gone in short order.

My daughter and niece got a small rash from them last week.

Surprised that I haven’t heard about these before.
We have been to OBX for 25 years and never knew of them
Why now?

Not new. Summer occurrence. Timing depends. Sea lice, which is jellyfish larvae, has information about it at obx available from multiple sources...google it. Rinse off after you are in ocean helps if you come in contact. Careful also of jellyfish...in water now KDH. The sting can hurt. Scrap it off right away with credit card, Rinse water and vinegar can help sting.
