Here's what to do if you're stung by a jellyfish
Relying on urban myths is the last thing you'd want to do when dealing with an extremely painful jellyfish sting. Most of the information out there on how to treat jellyfish stings might actually cause you more pain, according to a recent study published in Toxins.
