Here I explain what you really need to do to relieve a sting of jellyfish quickly.
Because I can tell you that I've been bitten a bunch of times by these critters!
Every summer I end up with blisters on my arms and legs when I surf...
It burns, it stings, in short it hurts a lot!
Fortunately, I discovered 3 years ago, a natural and effective remedy to relieve a jellyfish sting quickly.
Grandma's trick is to use a baking soda paste that will soothe the burning sensation instantly . Watch:
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons of lukewarm water
- bowl
- spoon
1. Pour the baking soda into the bowl.
2. Add water.
3. Stir to obtain a homogeneous paste that spreads well.
4. Apply this baking soda paste on the reddened part because of the jellyfish.
5. Leave to act:the paste will dry.
6. When it is dry, remove it and rinse well with clear, lukewarm water.
7. Repeat the remedy as soon as the burning sensation returns.
And There you go ! Thanks to this grandmother's trick, you have relieved your jellyfish sting :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, right?
No more itching! The unpleasant feeling disappears immediately!
Don't hesitate to add baking soda as soon as you feel the need.
Apply this paste as soon as possible to calm the pain right away and avoid side effects.
This trick being super economical and really effective, it would be a shame to deprive yourself of it.
It's true that we don't always know how to react to a jellyfish sting.
We often hear that you have to pee on it to relieve the pain.
But it seems that urine is not always effective.
Itching from jellyfish stings can last for several days or even weeks.
To relieve them, and if you have a bathtub, prepare a calming bath.
Run a lukewarm bath and add 1 cup of baking soda.
Once the bicarbonate is diluted, immerse yourself in this bath for at least 30 min.
Bicarbonate naturally disinfects the affected area.
It neutralizes the itching and burning sensation immediately
Jellyfish arrive on our metropolitan coasts in the summer, as soon as the water becomes warm.
Whether in the Mediterranean or in the Atlantic, filament jellyfish can be numerous.
To avoid bad encounters, trust the information from supervised beaches:the lifeguards always indicate the days at risk.
Also look at the surface of the water:they swim in groups, you will easily spot them.
Jellyfish don't actually sting, they inflame the swimmer's skin causing red patches and a kind of itchy hives.
What are the symptoms?
We feel a kind of small electrocution or electric shock.
This discharge can simply "sting" or worse "paralysis" of the affected arm or leg.
The area is red with scratchy pimples, leaving itchy even after a week.
