What should I do if I get stung by a jellyfish at the beach?

If you get stung by a jellyfish, the first step is to get out of the water calmly to avoid further stings. • Rinse the affected area with seawater, as fresh water can trigger more venom release. Avoid rubbing the sting site. • If you have access to it, vinegar can help neutralize the venom for certain types of jellyfish, so applying that can be beneficial. • For immediate relief from pain, you can apply a hot pack or immerse the affected area in hot water for 20 to 45 minutes, as heat can help alleviate the discomfort.
