After rinsing the sting, scrape off remaining tentacle residue with a plastic object, like the edge of a credit card. Do not attempt to rub away the tentacles with a cloth or towel, as this will cause more stinging cells to fire. Stay extremely still while you remove the tentacles. The more you move around while you attempt to remove jellyfish tentacles, the more venom will be released. If you are experiencing shock, make sure that someone has called emergency services and try to calm yourself as much as possible. Once the tentacles have been removed, relieve pain by immersing the stung area in hot water (not scalding!). Keep the water temperature around 104-113 F (40-45 C) to prevent burns. Studies have shown that heat deactivates the venom toxins, relieving pain better than ice If you are experiencing extreme pain, take a recommended dose of a painkiller, such as paracetamol or ibuprofen. Ibuprofen can also reduce inflammation associated with the sting.
