When you get here. Look to the Lifeguard stands or signs at the hotel. PURPLE flags means "sea pests"! When you get out of the water hose yourself down - inside and out. They usually get trapped in tight bathing suits or straps. I have found that rum seems to take the edge off any outbreaks (which don't show up till after you have dried off)! The less you have on in the water, the less likely you will have an outbreak, but no guarantees. :)
