## Caption

We’re not kidding. You really shouldn’t pee on a jellyfish sting. This could make the pain worse and trigger the jellyfish’s stinging cells to release more venom. 

Instead, do this:
1. Get out of the water.
2. Remove any tentacles attached to your skin with a gloved hand or plastic object.
3. Soak the area with water as hot as you can handle for at least 20 minutes.
4. If hot water isn’t available, apply a hot pack or hot sand wrapped in a thin, dry towel.
5. Avoid rubbing the area.
6. Watch for changes in condition and call 911 if necessary.
