Vinegar and hot water treat common jellyfish sting

Vinegar, as opposed to urine, is the best way to treat a jellyfish sting.

This is according to research from NUI Galway and the University of Hawai’i at Manoa.

The newly published study shows that a sting from a Lion’s Mane, which is the most problematic jelly-fish in Irish and British waters, is best treated with vinegar and then hot water.
