this might sound stupid but i keep hearing that if you get stung by a jelly fish you should have someone pee on it.. i don't plan on getting stung by one any time soon but i still want to know if thats true, and if it is how does peeing on it help?

My first answer was going to be yes. After researching it however it seems that the medical advice is that it doesn't do any good and some medical advice says that urine can even release more venom.
That being said, people who have actually been stung say that it does work. My educated guess would be that it depends on how much acid a person's urine contains. The best remedy seems to be vinegar--this was the consensus from most sites. Wow, I learned something today, lol.

If there is no resource for immediate medical attention, then the urea (acid) and ammonia in the urine help to neutralize the toxins from the sting of jellyfish, stingrays and other poisonous oceanic animals.

Yes...I had heard it before AND it was recently on Oprah.
Vinegar was the #1 remedy, but peeing was also a remedy (not as good as vinegar). Somehow it reacts with the sting venom and neutralizes it.

No-its not the only way. That is what you do if that was your last possibility and you were stranded. You would go to a doctor-unless you were unlable to reach one. The pee is like a reliver to it, it doesn't cure it.
I hope this helped :)

Its 100% true unfortunately...so don't get stung by a jellyfish unless u have a thing for getting peed on.

that actually is just said to be used like a distraction so ur not so focused on the pain but on puttign pee on it. it also works almost as a mind trick. if u really think it will work it will because u r making my brain believe somthing.

0.5 -real !!! that's elementary to fall in love yet to stay in love is rather particular. there is one 2nd in life once you're with somebody. And experience like the international has stopped and your life seems suited, ensure you by no capacity lose that individual ...... is this actual love ?????

Yes it is true,the ammonia in the urine kills the poison in the jellyfish sting.
