Jellyfish Sting Advice



There are many types of jellyfish in Florida's waters, but most assuredly you do not want to get stung by any one of them. In case of a painful jellyfish sting, there are a few different home remedies you can try. Vinegar has been used to ease the pain of stings for quite some time and Florida Sportsman member Sierra Bravo used a meat tenderizer when his seven year old daughter was stung. "Well, I've been lucky and never have been stung by a jellyfish but unfortunately my seven year old daughter today was hit on the inner thigh while snorkeling at the sand bar near Sands Cut. Poor kid was screaming like I've never heard her before..."

See what other ways Florida Sportsman members use to ease the pain of jellyfish stings or share your own ideas.
