Jellyfish Sting Treatment

We live at the beach in the northeast and jellyfish are an unavoidable part of beach life here. I always throw this in my bag as part of my sting kit and use it at least once a season, usually on a child who has been stung. It seems to work more quickly and is more soothing than other sting relief options. It’s also better than meat tenderizer, which is what our lifeguards often carry with them for stings. Tenderizer stings tender skin more before helping and kids want nothing to do with it. It always makes a bad moment at the beach, a bad day at the beach. I knew there had to be better options. This is the best and we tried several, plus anecdotal and DIY methods that people told us about. Yikes. Do better than me and don’t waste time with those. Buy this. You do have to use a decent amount for instant and continued relief, so it might not go a terribly long way if you make the mistake of jumping in during jelly breeding months. Shipping takes longer than it should, so plan accordingly when you run low. We buy one large bottle a season and that usually works, until this year where it was peak sting season in the ocean and bay during summer camp sessions. My daughters brought this with them and every day I had a parent track me down to find out the name of this product. We did run out after sharing it and I sent them to camp with the swab type sting relief instead. That evening, both children declared the swabs to be inferior and checked the mail everyday for their new Jelly Away to arrive. A few months later, several of us learned the hard way that the sting swab (the kind with the glass vial interior that you break and shake) are indeed nowhere near as effective as Jelly Away when we found ourselves in a jelly nest while diving off St Lucia. Those bad boys had tentacles long enough to wrap all the way around an adult thigh more than once. A few people got stung on their face where masks weren’t covering and immediately reached for my sting kit. Not all sting relief products are alike and I can now verify that this one is the best, by far. When we snorkel with our children, I don’t risk this product being in luggage that may be lost. I always put some in a small, dark colored, tight seal travel toiletry container and throw in my purse. It only takes one sting with an inferior or less effective product to not make that mistake again.

Bottled arrived with the label misprinted but overall the product seems to be good. Luckily we haven’t had to use it yet

Arrived on time, haven't needed to use it to test its efficacy though.

Works as expected

Last summer, while at the Gulf of America, my niece was stung by a jellyfish. Been going for years and this had never happened. I always keep this just in case. It proved its value by relieving her pain immediately. I will always keep this in my beach bag.

We took this to the beach for our family vacation. Two of the kids got stung and this stuff worked and worked fast!

I bought this to take on our trip this summer to the beach. The first day out we used it and yes, it works. It works. It works.

I kept bringing this along in case I got stung and luckily I didn’t. But now I can’t try it because every time I traveled so much leaked out of the bottle that now it is empty.
