well.. the sting is the unexpected pawn move that gets the opponents king 😉 that just makes it victory.. not only "feasible"... 😉

...( not kidding ) the first aid for a jelly fish sting ( only to be used
when someone has been stung multiple times and is in true distress )
is to urinate on the wound...human urine ( almost 99 percent sterile )
neutralizes the poison...

According to Wikipedia, urine encourages the nematocysts to release venom into the body; at least, that's what the article seems to say. It's a bit confusing.

The West of Ireland was covered in jellyfish last week, hundreds and hundreds of the little buggers washed up on the beach.

That's some amount of wee needed.

That must be why the Irish love their alcohol so much!

it's to wash the wound apparently. i'm assuming salt water stings and so can't be used...

Salt water is actually recommended while urine is contraindicated - that means don't pee on sea jelly (jellyfish) caused wounds! It causes the tiny little stingers to squirt extra venom into the victim, which is not good for the healing process...
