That's why it's so painful. voice-verified

It's not just the sting, it's the venom that goes in. voice-verified

And these kind of hooks are called nemosis or something along those lines. voice-verified

And they are activated on the sting and release that venom. voice-verified

When you get stung by a jellyfish, first of all, get out the water. voice-verified

Then try and remove these stingers from your skin as much as you can. voice-verified

You can see them. voice-verified

Yeah, yeah, very much so. voice-verified

Try and get them out. voice-verified

Then you want to wash it with seawater. voice-verified

Not fresh water, not urine. voice-verified

You want to get seawater. voice-verified

And the reason for that is these little stingers, these little hooks that release the venom, some of them won't have been activated yet and still have the venom in. voice-verified

If you pour fresh water or urine into them, something that they're not used to, haven't evolved along, they'll think, what the hell is this? voice-verified

So much going on. voice-verified

Release the venom. voice-verified

So the venom will get released. voice-verified

Whereas if you put salt water on to wash them off, voice-verified

then that's what they're used to and that won't activate them in the same way fresh water or urine will. voice-verified

Then it's about pain relief because it's not going to kill you, but it is horrendous. voice-verified
