...just a lot of pain and discomfort. Of course we treat the wounds quickly with urine, antiseptics and antibiotics if needed. (Has anyone else ever used Adolfs Meat tenderizer to draw out the bad stuff? \

_______________________________________________--

Adolfs Meat tenderizer is tradionally used for jelly fish stings.

Adolfs contain and enzyme called Papain ( or possibly Paperain) which is found in a natural state in the tropical fruit Payaya.

It's enzymatic action neutalizes the stinging cells of the jelly fish -or so I have been told--every time I have been zapped by a jelly fish good ole Adolp is at home. now we always have a bottle handy in the trailer.

I never heard about this Meat tenderizer - maybe it was not on the market here because there is ADOLPH's name in it!

NO, seriously - beside hot water for FISH or RAY stinges, the only other useful thing that really works good is
1) for Jellyfish=Vinegar dilluted with water(50%), to rinse off the remaining tentacles, and to neutralise the toxines.

2) for sea urchin= papaya OR pure Vinegar, rubbed on the spot where the sting entered the skin, those are very brittle and dissolve then quickly under the skin without any pain!!
Looks only for some days like a mishapped tatoo.
Had it many times while diving around the Seychelles, was almost a routine after every dive. The places where infested by them!
