or credit card.
3. Apply plain vinegar to the site or
a paste of baking soda and seawater
which may deactivate nematocysts
and reduce the reaction.
4. Rinse the area under hot water
not to exceed 113 degrees F or apply
ice packs. Choose the method that
seems to offer you the most relief.
5. Apply calamine lotion and take a
pain reliever or anti-inflammatory
medication to help reduce swelling
and irritation.
6. Rest and monitor the site. See a
doctor if a rash develops or you start
to have difficulty breathing.
