Jellyfish sting?


Question:
i think i got 2 on the backs of my knees. what do they look like? also, is using urine a real cure?

Answers:
Everything that other people suggested are good ideas. Whatever you do, do not use fresh water on it. Fresh water only causes more toxins to be released and more pain. Saltwater, urine, vinegar will all help.
urine is a real cure it works
Yes, Urine and beer both work, they neutralize the poison in the sting! they look like whip marks kind of, painful, but the urine thing only really works immediately after.
Yes. My brother got stung by a Portuguese man of war jellyfish-really poisonous- and he peed on it and it helped a lot.
They often just look red. Yes, urine is a real cure.
they may look like thin red lines or red spots, depending on how the sting happened.

try using vinegar, jellyfish prone areas usually provide it by the sea.

if not, try using aloe vera gel, that usually works for me.
not sure what they look like but yeah urine works.anything with amonia
they are red and swellslightly, the worst ive ever been stung was one spot and it looked like a mosquito bite and yes urine works and viniger works as well.
i dont know what they look like for sure.but yes have someone pee on them and that will make them better if they really are a jellyfish sting...
Red. Urine is OK (acidity), but vinegar is better.
Some people apply wet sand.
see a doctor
Vodka is the best cure. Must be applied and softly brushed over the sting area. They look like whelps with redness and stinging or sometimes itching.
I was stung by a Portuguese man of war a few years ago. There was a red line that was kind of swollen where it stung me with its tentacles and felt like a bee sting, but worse. Rub vinegar on the sting to help relieve the pain.
