This is a common problem in the tropics and these visiting Cairns must take proper safety measures against it. Visitors are thus advised to use sun screen lotions, hats, creams, glasses whenever you decide to step out. This is an essential particularly when you are visiting the Great Barrier Reef.
Minor cuts are usual but should not be overlooked. While your visits to the corals or the Barrier reef you meet even a minor injury then also proper medication should be applied. Antiseptic creams and lotions should always be kept handy. In case of a burning sensation or swelling, a doctor should be consulted immediately.
