How To Appropriately Prevent And Treat Jellyfish Stings

Soak In Hot Water

After the stingers have been removed, the impacted area should soak in hot water for a minimum of twenty minutes. The water should be between 104 to 113 degrees Fahrenheit, which is hot but not hot enough to burn the skin. Hot water will help diminish any residual stinging, cleanse the area, and remove any additional stingers that may have been missed. The hot water is also soothing and promotes blood flow to the affected area, which aids in healing. If an area to soak in hot water is not available a hot shower can be used as a substitute.
