Yes, it really helps. This is due to the fact that urine is alkaline and the jelly fish sting is acidic.So the urine neutralises the acidic composition of the infected area. This is normally done immediately to reduce the seriousness of the harm done by the jelly fish sting which could sometimes save lives when medical help is hours away.

the thought of urinating on a sting is that the urine is composed of a few ammonia which permits with the stinging. ideally vinegar is what you may go with to apply, however unseasoned meat tenderizer, baking soda, or one-quarter-capability kin ammonia could be used. on no account wash the side with clean water. Use salt water if no longer the rest as clean water could launch greater venom. Taking Benadryl, alongside with employing an ice p.c.. and treating the side with bacitracin afterwards for sort of three days is what you may ultimately go with to land up doing.

Yes it's true! But it doesn't help a lot. Clear ammonia from the grocery does much better (since it's the ammonia in the pee that does it) and also helps with bee stings, ant bites etc.
As stated already the BEST treatment is Adolfs meat tenderizer (only for jellyfish stings tho)! Most lifeguards and paramedics carry shakers of it in their medkits!!!

No. The only reason you would need someone to urinate on a wound is if you can't seek medical attention immediately and the wound is open. Urine is sterile and will help to avoid infection.

Something about the composition of the urine that helps with the burn. I've heard that it is true.

Meat tenderizer is better. Seriously!

It neutralizes it apparently.
