    One that hurts bad enough to post...not some itchy one.

    You get hit and it feels like you were electrocuted and it starts hurting again days later and looks like it wants to scar.

    Lil swell for days on end in Florida.

    Any input on dealing with it post vinegar day of?

    A lot of those box and manowars lately.

    Cmon, it's another classic Swellinfo medical advice thread.

    Gotta just wait it out and the scar lasts a year, I suppose maybe Benadryl or oral prednisone might work if it's still bad in another day. Urgent Care might Rx it.

    I got hit hard several weeks ago and had an allergic reaction. If you still have symptoms you can go to doc and get steroid shot and pump yourself up with Benadryl. They suck this year. Spawning in myrtle bay and are just stuck in the southeast. We need a big blow to push them out. Coming soon.....

    Two medical options:

    1. Cut off leg or affected area
    2. Kill yourself

    Treat jellyfish stings as you would poison ivy.....steroid cream. Hydrocortisone or similar type cream....$5 for a tube. Keep it clean. In a few days you will be "mo' betta".

    This is the ghost of KillaKiel.

    I took the advice when I was an organic being and it worked great!

    Thank you for the class A advice!

    Now that I have an eternity to kill (no pun intended) just know that you will have to sleep at some point. Just an observation. Totally going to haunt you. Noticed your fingernails can use a clipping. I've already started. The next full moon man...just wait...

    How are the waves in PA?

    I've been lucky, I'm in the water almost every day and haven't been hit more than one little time in the past year. And that one time was so minor I barely noticed.
