Has any one else been abroad this summer and been stung by a jelly fish ?

Question

I went to Menorca and there was sworms of jelly fish and no warnings. Igot stung twice and stayed clear of the sea after that.

Answer 1

YEs,,,ouch, ammonia helps neutralize the sting, as others said, if you can't find ammonia, urine works wonders too, gross but true.
My friends daughter SAT on one, and she had to be taken to the hospital, she was only two years old, and her Dad didn't notice any jellyfish when the went into the water

Answer 2

A lesson learnt! Many people get stung by Jelly Fish but rarely ever get stung again LOL. As you now know, you don't swim when there are Jelly Fish in the area. As for warnings, you won't get any as they would have to close all the beaches and put warnings on them. Jelly Fish are not predictable and can come close to shore anywhere. The other one to watch for is the Sea Anenamae, like Jelly Fish, they also sting.

Answer 3

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh yeah! Gawd it hurts like fire under your skin...

Heck, often those come into areas without warnings! Nobody is to blame for that. Mine happened in a pier

A little pee right on it numbs the pain, if you aren't carrying ammonia with you. That is because the base neutralizes the acidity of the sting...

Answer 4
