Hi I visited Hawaii last year. When I went to a beach that was kinda sketchy I was stung by a man o’ war. Though I was not allergic I still was all swollen. I went to a place right across the street called the ranch they were super kind but they told us to pour cold clean water on it. People say that you should not put clean/clear water on it is that true or is it something people just say?
Last night I had a dream of being stung by a jellyfish and I’m really scared and I know that it’s not going to happen
About 30 min ago, a family got stung by jelly fish over at the Kolina Lagoon at Aulani.
Aloha ..my mom and dad and i were at Kaaawa walking and playing on the beach, it was about 1962 or ’63 I was around 4 or 5 mom stepped on a man o’ war jellyfish her breathing became almost non existent, the tentacles wraped all around her leg so my dad peed all over her leg, well that released the grip but did nothing for her breathing, I was so scared my mom was dying right before my eyes, we managed to get her to the car and sped off to the area Fire Dept, one of the firemen said to put her under that tower they have (its still there by the way💖) they did that and dumped the ice cold water all over her ..well she took in this huge!! breath of air – a gasp like unreal man! and was again breathing and not all blue in colour…my mom had been saved by the firemen and that suggestion it may shock her back to life! Mahalos to those firemen🌴🌴👍👍💖

My son got stung once in Florida. The lifeguards told us to make a paste using alcohol and meat tenderizer. We did that, and it seemed to relieve the pain. Thank you for giving tourists a warning. We would have appreciated a heads up.
Our 4 year old was stung at Punaluu. She was just swimming in shallow water and started saying…. ouch ouch ouch. A dead (maybe) Manowar was floating in the water and had touched her ams and legs. She has red lashes all over. We peeled the stringy blue tentacles off and quickly applied Doterra Lavender essential oil and after about an hour and a couple applications she was feeling pretty good. The red marks remained for a few days but she said it didn’t hurt. Needless to say she was reluctant to get bag in the ocean!
Just saw a man of war in the water just off shore on Kahekili beach here in Maui. Needless to say I got back on shore and not going back in there today.
Tonight around 7:45 pm my daughter was stung by a jellyfish on her right ankle. I got help from a staff member who immediately put vinegar drenched paper towels in her legs and ankle. It took about an hour to be less painful and then had her take a bath. She’s doing better and seems to have no itching just was really painful for her for a bit. We are at Waipouli Beavh Resort, Kauai, today is Friday August 11th.
Hello! I am traveling to Hawaii on Thursday, July 27th. Do you have a percent of getting stung? How often do people die from stings?
I’m not a hawaii’n local but i know a lot about jellyfish and have been stung a few times. People don’t usually die from stings unless they are box or man o war jellyfish which are very uncommon/rare in hawaii. usually you will only get a nasty sting which is quite bearable for most so don’t panic if stung. I’m in hawaii right now and so far no jellyfish!
Ive been in the island for six years I haven’t seen one person die from a sting but on the other hand some can get really bad and you may have to go to the hospital but I’ve been stung and I just sat it out but people rarely get stung by jelly fish here so I don’t think you have anything to worry about. And if you get stung just don’t panic find a life gard and you should be good and just have fun!
I was just stung by a jellyfish while kayaking to the Kaneohe sanbar (7/17/17). I must have scooped it up with my paddle and the dang thing landed on top of my leg. I had no choice but to grab it off me but the tenticles wrapped around my hands and arms. That was the most intense burning and stinging I’ve ever felt. Here I am 6 hours later and I’m still in intense pain. 🙁
