#jellyfishsting

A jellyfishes sting!!! Okay okay on their tentacles they have stinging cells called cnidocytes, they are small compartments that have little stingers. The way they sting though is when anything triggers the stingers (brushing up against the tentacle or just straight up grabbing/touching it) and the compartment opens causing ocean water to rush in releasing the venom (Nematocysts) and it shoots out penetrating the skin. (This process can occur in less than a millionth of a second) Nematocysts can continue to fire out even after jellyfishes death, if u have the tentacles still attached to you.

Forgot to ever post an update. This is a jellyfish sting after about a week. I swear it looks like a jellyfish just smashed its face in my upper arm. Guys, the itching is so much worse than the sting imo. #jellyfishsting #jellyfish #IHasAHurt https://www.instagram.com/p/B8lOGoIjL-a/?igshid=k7kqj4gr8u9i

Credit to @rose_filer : Had a lovely stroll in the water before we got out far enough to actually swim and then had an EPIC time (good and bad). 💖🏊🏻‍♀️💖 • F I N A L L Y made it around the lighthouse and swam to the condos on the other side and found out it isn’t as scary over there as I somehow thought.✅ • Got wrapped up in a pretty big lion’s mane jelly which👎🏻 impacted my swim quite a bit. Swam afterwards for almost an hour but threw up and started cramping for some reason, possibly related to being stung, so we made the decision to get out early and not finish the 8k. A bit disappointing, but still got in a solid swim and learned some lessons. ‼️Do not hug the jellyfish ‼️ • So grateful to have my around to help get the jellyfish barbs out and provide vinegar and aloe for the stinging! posted on Instagram - https://newaveswim.com/2FcTBx1
