We know the urge is there based on Joey and Chandler on Friends. However, it’s not ideal to take a leak on your sting because it could do more harm than good. Urine, sea water and lemon juice are not recommended. Vinegar. however, is the way to go!
The acid in the vinegar penetrates the sting and will give you the best solution and potential for relief. Now, of course, we bring this up because another Portugese Man O’War has been sighted. This time Clam Harbour Beach was the setting which is just a few clicks away from the initial spot at Martinique.
Now the Man O’war is not as poisonous as the Box Jellyfish, which is the most dangerous on earth, but it is in the top 10. So be very careful if you come across one and make sure to take a photo and report it.
Like an iceberg, the Man O’War is very nice and pretty on the top of the water, but what lies beneath is a giant dumpster fire of stingers and tentacles. So again, be very careful out there!
