Default Sea Urchin

My most embarrasing experience underwater is stepping on sea urchins. It really hurts but just for an hour.

I've never stepped on one, but I can say, it's no picnic getting stung by a man-o-war or a jellyfish. Burn Baby Burn!

I've never had the experience, but I've seen a girl who was stung by a jellyfish, and she was plenty upset.

Supposedly it was attracted to the jewelry in her navel piercing. Do you think that's likely?

Jellyfish are semi-transparent, graceful creatures but it's harmful because it possess stinging cells that can inject a paralyzing poison into prey. An octopus is worst.

Put more pictures of jellyfish. I saw in Regis & Kelly that if you get stung by a jellyfish, you could use VINEGAR to ease the pain or URINE as a second resort.

Yeah its the ammonia inside of the urine that helps. I have been stung, its kind of nasty but desperate times call for desperate measures.
