I was stung by a jellyfish for the first time in my life yesterday

2018-08-17 at 8:50 PM UTCAmazingly living close to beaches, going to the beach every summer of my life, at 31 years old, I have never been stung by a jellyfish.
Grazed by large stingrays, close to whales and dolphins, seeing a sea turtle after laying eggs, I've been lucky.
But the other day I was boogey boarding at low tide. The area we went the water was much murkier than previous times, but no jellyfish were visible.
So I'm out there maybe not even 20 minutes, and the waves are shitty but enough to catch the occasional tubing wave.
So I'm riding a wave back and OUCH it feels like bees are stinking my upper leg and then OUCHH travels down to my calf.
I look back but its all white water I don't see anything but damnnn it wasn't easing up several seconds later. So I start walking in and I tell the chick I was with "OW OW OW I'M FUCKING STUNG ITS STINGING OUCH"
excuse my hairy legs I usually trim legs so I don't look like such a hairy bastard
and then I lied down and she offered to pee on it and I was like hehe yeh
but we looked it up and it said only pee if stranded and rinse with vinegar.
so is stings like a bitch for hours, I get home and shower and pour some apple cider vinegar on it and it did help a little.
It was kinda as bad as I thought it would be, and not as bad at the same time. Its hard to describe it maybe feels kinda like a fairly bad burn, perhaps with little needles or pinprick like sensation to go along with it.
Anyway that's the story of that jellyfish son of a bitch that finally got meThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2018-08-17 at 8:55 PM UTCWell remember depending on the type of Jellyfish the damage can be minor to severe.
As for the peeing thing next time act like you are in agony and get the hottest girl on the beach to pee on it...not your homely girlfriend. -
2018-08-17 at 9:14 PM UTCI too was stung one singular time, on the high seas of Clearwater Beach, one dark and dreary night. We merry band of travelers consuming spirits and fine fruits, made way to the oceanside, the tides unusually high amidst a nearby hurricane.
Upon a likely excessive amount of responsible ale consumption, we came in agreement and sought the company of the stirring sea and the pounding waves.
Plunging into the dark abyss we became shadow-like ragdolls being tossed about, not much unlike a jellyfish; the waves towering above us like Death himself.
Alas, a felt the peculiar sting upon my thigh of what resembled several babby mosquitos, and looked down to catch but the briefest glimpse of a human sized jellyfish.
In my intoxicated state I laughed heartily and carried on thrashing about in the whirling waters until eventually retiring back upon dry land.
Upon inspection of my upper leggal region I discovered an abnormally massive rash of red blotches and pus-like fluids embedded within it.
After a brief conference we concluded it twas but nothing of concern and ventured home.
Got my leg amputated a week later, good fuckin friends I got huh. -

WTF?
I remember in Kenya there was apparently tiny jellyfish. Their stings felt like little electric zaps.
Here in Ireland, due to overfishing, we get massive blooms of Moon Jellyfish. They are bastards, and appear in great big swarms, especially in the sheltered sea between Ireland and England. Once this summer there were so many I couldn't even go into the water, they were everywhere. Things are a little better on the Atlantic side.
One kid wound up in hospital at the beach I mentioned above due to being stung by a Portuguese Man O'War Jellyfish, which can grow quite large.
In summary, we need a final solution to the JQ.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
