Jellyfish!!

OK, so I don't have any great pictures of jellyfish, but I do have a story. We thought the lifeguard was just a great supporter of ECU b/c she had yellow and purple flags flying form her stand. Well........purple means jellyfish. J was the first to get stung. The lifeguard washed it off with vinegar and he seemed to bounce back just fine. In the picture all you can see is a small red area just about an inch below his shorts. My neighbor wasn't so lucky. She and I were enjoying body surfing and talking when all of a sudden she starts flailing around. I knew what it was and started hauling myself out of the water as fast as possible. Poor thing, when it stung her hip she instinctively reached down and tried to get it off of her but instead managed to get it wrapped around her arm. As we were quickly exiting the water she kept flinging her arm around tyring to brush it off. People were just watching her because there was nothing on her arm.....it must just make it feel like it was still there. She got rinsed off with vinegar too and tried to convince her DD to pee on her arm. THAT didn't happen so she called a nurse friend. Tip for if you ever get stung by a jellyfish. Take a credit card and scrape the area in an upward direction. That helped her the most! She still had welts that evening and into the next day and hers hurt much longer than Js did.
