Abstract

Jellyfish stings remains a common envenoming, and yet confusion appears to exist in the community as to the correct first aid. Current guidelines from the Australian Resuscitation Council still recommends ice for most jellyfish stings, although there appears to be little evidence to support this. There is more evidence supporting the use of hot water. More research is required to simplify first aid for jellyfish stings.
