1. Remove the patient from the water      -- avoid fresh water, wet sand, or showers to prevent further stinging      -- try not to move affected extremity      -- keep patient calm

2. Remove stinger if present      -- get something flat and hard, like a credit card      -- scrape skin using edge      -- removing by hand can cause self-envenomation

3. Do not try to manipulate anything else

4. If pain persists, immerse sting in hot water      -- water should be about 110 F / 43 C      -- vinegar also works

5. Provide prompt transport

6. Continue to monitor for signs of an allergic reaction
