I didn' t know about scraping a sting off. I wonder why the video didn't explain the pee method.

Yep, piss on 'em

Some places charge extra for that.

I've heard the piss method is an old wives tale. My son got stung a couple years ago in Pensacola and the hotel had a bottle of vinegar behind the desk specifically for it.

If I get stung I'm just gonna watch the video on repeat and I'll forget about the sting until some one can help me

The shaving cream needed more shaking. I'm just saying....

So, if you dont have any vinegar, dont let a jellyfish sting you on the back.

Went SCUBA diving a few years ago off the NC coast. We had to get through a layer of jellies to get to the submarine we were diving on. The ONLY past of me that wasn't covered was the area around my lips that my regulator didn't cover. Guess where I got stung?!!! I later bought an ice guard for my regulator mouthpiece to correct that deficiency!

Any local dive shop has little packets of gel made specifically for treating jellyfish stings. They aren't expensive and don't take up much room in a PFD pocket if you fish in an area where that might be a concern.
