Excerpt:

"For jellyfish stings: hot water, topical cream

LA JOLLA

Forget the vinegar, meat tenderizer, baking soda or even urine for treating a jellyfish sting this summer. Hot water and a topical cream are the best treatment, according to researchers at UC San Diego's Department of Emergency Medicine.

The researchers' 16-page review, "Evidence-Based Treatment of Jellyfish Stings in North America and Hawaii," was published this week in the online edition of the Annals of Emergency Medicine."
