Jellyfish Sting Treatment
Decontaminate and Remove Tentacles
For jellyfish stings, the American Heart Association and the American Red Cross have recommended the following:
Rinse the area with vinegar for at least 30 seconds. If vinegar is not available, a solution of baking soda can be used. This will deactivate the stinging cells.
Next, soak the area in hot water for at least 20 minutes if possible. Cold packs can be used instead if the area can’t be soaked in hot water..
