I was swimming this weekend at Isle of Palms beach in SC and got what I intellection was a very intense sunburn, but it was only in one blot about the filler of my palm. I intellection it was doable that I had uncomprehensible that spot, but I had burned on other parts of my back, and it didn't countenance the same. I put solarcaine on it and proceeded with life. Two days later, solarcaine is feat excrutiating discompose to the site, and it today looks color instead of red. I put vinegar on it, and then began to think that maybe i was stung by a cnidarian and didn't realize it. Is that possible? After applying vinegar, the injury looked a little inferior color and not so smooth around the edges... like little lines reaching from it. And crossways my backwards are some flushed lines. Anyway, what crapper I do about this? Does it good like a cnidarian sting? or just some crazy sunburn? And, if it is from a jelly, what should I do about the pain? I can't put on a bra or anything, but I can't stay like this until it is gone. HELP!

Soak or rinse the Atlantic in acetum (acetic acid) for 15-30 transactions to kibosh the nematocysts from releasing their toxins. If you do not have acetum available, rinse in sea water,70% isopropyl alcohol, or Safe Sea Jellyfish After Sting - It's a discompose comfort gel. Do not ingest firm water.

There is no way that you wouldn't notice if you got stung by a jellyfish! The moment a jellyfish's tentacle hits you, you know that you hit been stung - it is a pretty excrutiating discompose that you feel immediately. I was stung a couple of eld past while vacationing in Myrtle Beach, SC and I had the mark of the tentacle on my foot (got stung on my foot) until most the modify of Nov (which is a long time considering I went there the beginning of August!). It immediately swelled up and looked like I had 2 bounteous toes on one foot! The tender put some acetum on it but it didn't seem to support much - thankfully we had brought some antihistamine with us (because I don't think you crapper intend it OTC down in the States) which helped with the swelling and I kept a dewy facecloth with ice in it on my foot just most every night to support with the discompose and swelling also.
