"Beach Safety Alert: Venomous Blue Dragons Spotted on Texas Shores"

TL;DR Summary
Researchers warn beachgoers in Texas about the presence of blue dragons, a bright blue and silver sea slug that can deliver a painful sting, as they blow ashore with southeast winds during the spring. These tiny creatures feed on toxins from jellyfish-like organisms and their habitat is expanding, possibly due to climate change. Touching them can result in intense pain lasting up to three hours, and beach visitors are advised to avoid contact and seek medical attention if stung.
