Treatment for other jellyfish stings

First aid recommendations are:

• wash the sting site with sea water (not fresh water)
• remove any tentacles by hand or wash them off with sea water
• consider hot water immersion (see Bluebottle jellyfish stings); there is limited evidence that hot water immersion reduces the pain of jellyfish stings, apart from bluebottle jellyfish stings; however, it is still reasonable to try this intervention for all jellyfish stings.

Use of vinegar is not helpful and may increase the pain.

Bullous wounds from severe stings may require dressings.
