This what you should do to people who got sting by jellyfish, do not pee on them
News24xx.com - Quoted from Reader's Digest, an emergency medical officer at Kaiser Permanente, California, Cindy Parker explained about handling wound of jellyfish sting. Urine which is often considered to be able to overcome the sting effect turns out to be just a myth. Toxins from nematocytes have the risk of attacking a wider area of ??the skin when doused with urine or fresh water. Nematocytes are part of the skin of jellyfish tentacle that contain toxins.
"The right treatment is doused it with vinegar or 40-70 percent of alcohol. The tentecle part that is attached to the victim's body can be pulled out while continuing to be doused with vinegar or alcohol. If the tentacle is removed, the baking soda paste can be given to relieve the victim's pain" Parker said.
Urine, especially liquid like fresh water, cannot neutralize toxins in jellyfish’s tentacle. This is different from vinegar or alcohol which can reduce the concentration of toxins in the tentacle, so that the sting effect can be dealt with immediately.
Before overcoming the toxic effects, victims should be moved first from the coast or sea area. This is to provide a more conducive place for handling sting wounds. Victims should not scratch the sting wounds so the nematocytes would not move around.
