Flushing the affected area with neat vinegar will markedly reduce the effects of jellyfish stings.

If the tendrils get stuck to your body, peel them off, don’t brush them off as they will end up stinging other parts of your body.

Also, a couple of drops of diluted spirit vinegar applied to each ear-hole, prior to snorkelling/diving will help prevent ear infections (if you’re susceptible to that sort of thing).

Personally, never had problems being ‘stung’ in Thai waters – only onshore…55555
