How can one treat a jellyfish sting?

Without knowing the specifics of the sting, there are a few things that might help. If you have a patch of skin that’s really red, swollen, itchy and painful, you might apply a small bit of cool water to it. This might help it go down. Other things that might help include antihistamines, such as Benadryl, and band-aids.

Cool water? Water from where?

Any clean water might work, I suppose. The water could be cooled by putting it in a sealed container and leaving it in the fridge for a while. It would depend on your fridge.

Nooo, you're supposed to put on fresh water!
