The Lanzarote Emergency Consortium has reported the presence of jellyfish-type sailboats in the Punta Mujeres pools and in Playa Honda,
This jellyfish is essentially harmless to humans, but all cnidarians possess nematocysts. However, in some species the nematocysts and the toxins they carry are more powerful than in other species. The sailboats (the jellyfish we are talking about now) have nematocysts that are relatively benign to humans, although each person responds differently to contact with the toxins of these. It is recommended to avoid touching the face or eyes after coming into contact with a sailboat and remember that it can cause itching in areas of the skin exposed to the nematocysts of this animal.
