Why you should never pee on a jellyfish sting
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
You can thank the TV show 'Friends' for convincing an entire generation to publicly urinate on their loved ones. Urine contains urea and varies wildly in pH. Peeing on a jellyfish sting can actually trigger the remaining nematocysts (stingers) embedded in the skin to fire off even more venom, escalating your pain from 'ouch' to 'agony.' Just use vinegar or seawater like a civilized human being.
One discovery leads to another.
