The Jellyfish Invasion Continues
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008
More than 15 people were treated for stings within one hour at the Hanauma Bay beach in Hawaii Monday morning.
But get this. 586 jellyfish were found in the Waikiki-to-Ala Moana area and 111 people treated for stings, all but one in Waikiki.
People stung by jellyfish are advised to flush stings with copious amounts of white vinegar. Those who experience difficulty breathing, muscle cramps or persistent pain should seek immediate medical attention.
Jaunted.com has even created a Jellyfish Invasion map so you can track the hot spots.

Towel soaked in vinegar helps to neutralise the stinging cells but Stingose works better neutralising them as it contains Al3+. Apply local topical anaesthetic to reduce the pain. If you can not get hold of any of them, try putting toothpaste especially the one with mint and gives you white foams.
