Beach Bag Sting Kit
A few simple items make a jellyfish sting easier to handle and less likely in the first place. Here is what we suggest keeping in the beach bag during sea nettle season.
- Sting relief gel: A small tube of after-sting gel to soothe the burn and itch once you are out of the water. Check price
- Small bottle of vinegar: Handy for travel to tropical beaches where local guidance calls for it, though it is not a clear win for bay sea nettles. Check price
- Rash guard: A long-sleeve swim shirt covers skin that sea nettles would otherwise reach, cutting down on stings. Check price
- Water shoes: Protect your feet from stings and shells in the shallow water where jellyfish can drift near the bottom. Check price
- Tweezers and first-aid kit: Fine tweezers let you lift off stuck tentacles safely instead of using bare fingers. Check price
- Reef-safe sunscreen: Round out the beach bag with sunscreen that is easier on the water you are swimming in. Check price
