Many big moon jellyfish have been washing up on the shore and we’ve been hearing tons of complaints about sea lice (which are actually jellyfish larvae). No matter what they are called, they can turn a good session sour.
There are many home remedies said to ease the sting but if you aren’t feeling up to splashing urine or food seasonings on your body, Jellyfish Squish offers up an alternative they say is proven.
From the Jellyfish Squish website:
- Jellyfish stings are the most common injury sustained by beachgoers each year.
- Jellyfish stings are painful because when jellyfish tentacles touch us, they release millions of tiny corkscrew-shaped cells called nematocysts. The nematocysts penetrate our skin and repeatedly release painful toxins.
- When we’re stung, our natural reaction is to rub the injured area. However, this action triggers even more nematocysts to fire their toxins, causing even more pain.
- The jellyfish problem is getting worse. Increased bacteria and warmer oceans have caused the jellyfish population to increase dramatically in recent years.
- FDA-compliant Jellyfish Squish® contains the maximum over-the-counter dosage of lidocaine, the same ingredient that hospitals use to treat burn patients.
- Jellyfish Squish® has been proven to stop the pain of jellyfish stings within 5 minutes of application—and to stop the pain-causing nematocysts from firing again.
