My son was stung by a jellyfish in Ibiza when he was 5, I used vinegar as advised but no one said anything about pulling the stingers out. He still had raised white lines 2 years later, bless him

There are actually beaches in Australia that have bottles of vinegar placed around them, in case of jellyfish stings

your wrong about sea water, this does not make it worse. Freshwater does. hot water is better for venomous stings from stonefish, lionfish, at 42 degrees via a cloth

You should not pull off the tentacles. Putting vinegar on them makes them let go and then you can remove them.
