While doing water sports on the  beaches of Zipolite , the municipality of San Pedro Pochutla a  tourist from Switzerland  was stung by a  stingray  what merited admission to a hospital, where he is reported out of danger.

The incident happened today during the morning when lifeguards attended  Phillipp Blaesi, 42 , by a deep wound in the ankle that caused a manta ray, said  Reginaldo Garcia, municipal coordinator of Civil Protection .

"The sting caused abundant bleeding, which warranted first aid care, and his subsequent admission to the regional hospital of San Pedro Pochutla," he said.

The foreign visitor traveled to Zipolite, known as the nudist beach of the coast of Oaxaca, to practice water sports and dive, mentioned the lifeguard.

From his experience in the field, Garcia said  stingrays medium and small size are colored and similar to the color of the sand texture , so the bather not identify them when they rise to the surface away from the cold water.
