Jelly fish stings
The waters are not quite warm enough yet for jellies but I saw this on another board and wondered if anyone knew anything about it.

Average Jelly stings : a mix of water/vinegar on a 1/1 basic, is as fast and good as anything. Never touch them - leave them and wash remaining
tentacles off with seawater OR the mix, and pick the remaining tentacles with an forceps off the skin. Never rub or wipe, makes it worse. The
Tentacles still have active nettles.
But it is a good idea to use protection, and be cautios.
here a link for more information on all stingers in the sea.

As a sleepy-eyed kid about 9 yrs. old picking thru bycatch on a shrimp boat during a long night, made the mistake of rubbing my eyes with jellyfish
coated hands.

SafeSea™ - The World's Only Solution Against Marine Stingers!
The Product
Clinical Tests
After ten years of extensive bio-technological research it is finally possible
to prevent jellyfish stings.
SafeSea™ is the first patented lotion that helps protect against
the stinging of most Jellyfish, Blue bottle, Sea Lice, Coral and Sea Anemone.
The product is based on a unique technology that exploits biochemical
mechanisms to neutralize the jellyfish's sting. SafeSea™ was clinically
tested by dermatologists. Because jellyfish are drifters, it is not possible to
force them to change their course.
SafeSea™ makes sure that even if the jellyfish make physical contact
with people wearing the lotion, the stinging mechanism will not be activated.
* SafeSea™ was scientifically developed to help protect against the stinging of most jellyfish, Sea Nettle, Sea Lice (Seabatheres Eruption) and
coral.

* Clinically tested by Dermatologists.
* SafeSea™ product line provides over 10 categories of sun protection from SPF 0 to SPF 50.
* Ideal for divers, swimmers and holiday beachgoers.
* SafeSea™ The only product available today that helps protect exposed skin in infested waters.

Clinically Tested by Dermatologists

The picture shows two hands that were exposed to jellyfish tentacles (stings).
One hand was protected with SafeSea™ and the other served as a control and was left unprotected.
The unprotected hand developed inflammatory rash accompanied by pain, while the hand protected with SafeSea™ lotion remained normal with no signs of
rash or pain
Safe Sea� was clinically tested in an FDA approved
hospital under the supervision of expert dermatologists.
During the test jellyfish were brought in contact with
volunteers. Each volunteer touched the jellyfish with a
Safe Sea� protected hand and with an unprotected hand
(served as a control for the intensity of the stinging).
In all volunteers, the hand protected by Safe Sea�
was free of pain or irritation, whereas the unprotected
hand developed pain, irritation and inflammatory rash.

Appearance of pain over time following contact with jellyfish.
In the unprotected hand pain appeared immediately in all
volunteers following contact with the jellyfish, gradually fading over the
next 2 hours. The hands protected with SafeSea™ were pain free.
Conclusion: The experiment proved the efficacy of SafeSea™.

Appearance of inflammation in hands following contact with jellyfish.
An inflammatory reaction appeared in over 80% of unprotected hands within 15 minutes
of contact with jellyfish. There were no signs of inflammation in any of the SafeSea™
protected hands. Conclusion: This experiment proved that SafeSea™ protects the skin
against jellyfish stings.

Cnidaria? What happened to Coelenterata? Wish they would just stick to the old names. How do they expect me to help Alex with his homework?

Ha, ha David, why can't you just pee on your own afflicted
area?

drugstore.com carries it, and they have their own website, buysafesea.com....I'd check both for whoever's running the better deal. This stuff really
works, and if you use it, you probably won't have to worry about any pee issues!

Sounds like the new no fog product for swim masks - better than spitting into the mask- It was just someone else's dried spit....

So Marv, does that mean the sting relief product is someone else's dried pee?

jellies et al
Talked to the "LIfeguards" on the beach at Loreto yesterday. Asked about rays and jellies and their first aid plans vis a vis same. For the rays:
cayenne paste and/or hot sand, for the jellies: soapy water.
Peeing is supposed to be for rays, not jellies.
I wonder if the sunscreen/sting protectant is all it says, may just try it. I heard about another combo called, I think, Safe Swat, which claimed to
be sunscreen and insect repellent. I may yet become a one-man oil slick.

David K. T-36 C-7 or is it the C40 ? Never thought of trying that!!!! Have used melaleceuca for years. Probably at least 20 by now. Great stuff.
Comes out of New South Whales originally. Aborigines used to take the leaves & boil & then drink it. Austrailian Army carried a processed
product of the leaves in their first aid packets during WWII Or is it the salve you use?
