Purple jellyfish: What to do if stung
The Greek Biodiversity Observatory has recommended a First Aid Kit for the beach.
As he notes, it is good to have the following with us on the beach to be able to deal with a jellyfish sting:
- A plastic card (eg old credit card).
- A pair of tweezers.
- A cup (e.g. urine collector).
- A little baking soda (1:1 ratio with seawater).
- Antihistamine pill.
- Some cortisone cream such as e.g. fucicort
Care steps
Wash carefully with sea water, without rubbing the area of ​​the bite. If available, apply a mixture of seawater and baking soda (in a 1:1 ratio) for two minutes to stop any additional venom secretion from possible remnant tentacle cells left on the skin.
We use a plastic bank card or similar (not our hands) to remove the baking soda mixture and any residue from our skin
