Jellyfish stings are on the rise at a Delaware beach. South Bethany lifeguard
James Buffone says when the water starts to warm up more jellyfish tend to crowd
the coastline. He offered some natural remedies for dealing with a sting.
Easiest way to do it is make sure you get all the tentacles off you.
You're going to want to rinse it with seawater and then if you have hot water available go
take a hot shower put hot water on it just rub. Buffone added jellyfish arrived a bit earlier
than usual this year. They normally show up along the shore by early to mid-August.
