Answer

If you see a jellyfish, it's best to calmly swim away and avoid touching it, as some can sting even when they're washed up on the shore. • If you or someone else gets stung, seek help from a lifeguard immediately. They are trained to handle such situations. • Rinse the sting area with seawater, not fresh water, as that can trigger more venom release. • Applying vinegar can help neutralize the sting of some jellyfish, but again, it's best to consult with a lifeguard for proper treatment.
