Thousands of Australians get stung by Bluebottle jellyfish.

According to Queensland's state beach and rescue authority, Surf Life Saving Queensland, over 2500 people have been stung over the weekend.

But these figures are set to double as they do not take into account those who were treated by council lifeguards.

Due to weather conditions, such as heat and high winds, the jellyfish were driven to the highly populated Queensland shores.

The stings are not usually life-threatening but they are painful and could cause issues for young, elderly and allergy affected beachgoers.

Swimmers, as well as beach walkers, have been warned to not touch the jellyfish.

The beachgoers at Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast were where most of the stinging took place. Only last week, at the same two popular swim spots, approximately 13,000 stings were reported to authorities.

Although the majority of the Bluebottle armada (a bunch of Bluebottle jellyfish) has eased down to a few remnants on the shores by today, over 100 people were treated for stings, predominately at Sunshine Coast.
