Does anyone know of anything in freshwater that can sting? Last year me and
some friends were collecting in a ditch that is rather isolated but rich in
species. We were ate up by something in the water, it felt just like jellyfish do
in salt water (milder). someone said it was bladderwort but I never heard of
bladder wort stinging people. the water was very acidic and full of plant
material.

Lower Cape Fear River, Waccamaw Lake and river system, and coastal salt water
and brackish water estuaries in the same location. (South Eastern North
Carolina)
I have access to the only natural Ocean Shore Rock out cropping in Coastal NC
