Stung by jellyfish 4 days ago - painful & blistered. taking antihistamine& neosporin. can i take a bath or swim in the ocean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes--just stay away from the jellyfish. Seriously, if you are still having problems with the jellyfish sting, apply Laury's meat tenderizer to the area. It will inactivate the poison from the jellyfish. Of course, this should have been done immediately after the sting.
