Anitta suffers 'pain like never before' after being stung by a jellyfish on her face and body during Ibiza trip

Anitta suffered a series of nasty injuries to her face and body when she was stung by a jellyfish while swimming.

The Brazilian singer, 31, experienced 'a pain like I’ve never felt before' after being stung in a cave in Ibiza, Spain. 

Anitta was exploring the Island while taking a break from her European tour over the weekend. 

In an Instagram update, she showed the red marks the jellyfish had left on the right side of her chin and on her forearm in a video.

She told her followers: 'I was attacked by a jellyfish, and I fought with it. I’m fine now. But at the time, it was intense. It was a pain like I’ve never felt before. I was literally electrocuted.'

The singer added: 'I burnt myself all over while punching it. It was an experience like no other.'

A man at the scene helped the award-winning musician shortly after the sea creature stung her, as reported on What's The Jam.

Anitta said: 'The sailor removed the venom from my skin with a knife. He scraped it off, and the venom came out brown.

'I was laughing and screaming, a mix of emotions. After experiencing pain like that, I feel like I can handle anything.' 

Recalling the moment she was stung, Anitta, explained: 'I could feel it coming at my face, at my mouth. My mouth instantly swelled up.'

She didn’t seek medical help, telling her fans: 'Everything is fine. It was excruciating pain for about an hour. It was bizarre.'

Anitta took to Stories on Friday to show how her chin wound was still visible albeit much faded.

She jokingly asked: 'Can any of the 728,371,918 jellyfish experts tell me if this scar will be permanent?'

It comes after sat down for an interview with Today's May digital cover star and opened up about her past health struggles.

Back in 2022, the hitmaker was hospitalised for months as she battled an unknown illness that eventually subsided.

The mystery condition left her unable to walk and she admitted she thought she 'was going to die' during the ordeal.

'I was super, super unhealthy,' she recalled. 'I got really sick and was so physically ill I couldn’t work — and I hadn’t stopped working in so many years.'

She noted that the experience 'was a big wake up call' as she realised that she 'physically couldn’t do many things that I loved doing because of my health.'

'I had to take time to take care of myself,' she said.

While working to improve the state of her health, she felt inspired to make music. 

'I just wasted so much time of my life trying to reach goals, and please people and be a success,' she told Today. 

The songstress, born Larissa de Macedo Machado, said the illness 'changed [my] whole mentality, and that's why I made this album.'

Anitta noted, 'I made Funk Generation in the hospital. I was like, I want an album like this — in case I die I’m going to leave an album that I'm proud of.'

And that's exactly what she did. 

'I’m really proud of this album, and I didn't do it thinking about streams and algorithms and numbers. I thought just about having fun and loving what I did,' she gushed.

In July 2022 the superstar used Twitter, now X, to share a photo of herself in a hospital bed holding a thumbs up. 

She explained, 'I came from the tour straight to the hospital to start the preparations for a surgery that Imma do as soon as my body is ready for it.'

In a follow-up tweet she added, 'The surgery was already scheduled before the tour started. I have something called ENDOMETRIOSIS (very common in millions of women in the world but not as spoken as it should be). I'm doing good being very well cared and will keep everyone posted. Lots of love.' 

She told Today: 'After my health issues, I started taking better care of my spirituality. I follow Yoruba religion, and I had to jump into that. I dove into myself, and everything that makes me feel peace.'
