What's the treatment for a poisonous jellyfish sting?

Wear gloves, if possible, and brush off stingers with a towel. Gently wash the area with salt water. Soak the wound in very warm (not hot) water for 30 to 90 minutes to inactivate the toxin.

Use an over-the-counter antihistamine for localized swelling, tenderness, or itching. Hydrocortisone cream reduces swelling. Take acetaminophen, aspirin (if older than 18), or ibuprofen for pain.

If bleeding, bandage the wound. Seek immediate medical care for uncontrolled bleeding, difficulty breathing, or other generalized symptoms. Don't rub the injury or rinse it with fresh water.

This will activate any stinging cells that haven't already ruptured. To prevent stings, stay alert on the beach or while swimming. Jellyfish are nearly transparent and can be hard to see.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
