have seen Jellyfish off the ibizan beaches but i would guess no more chance of getten stung than any other med. resort

i think the solution to a jellyfish sting is pee! 8O
 
jellyfish stings are alkaline and so can be neutralised by an acid, urine is slightly acid, but better still is vinegar or lemon juice.
 
The pee thing works, and nearly instantly. 3 of my gang were stung this June and each tried the pee remedy to good effect.
 
I do not know if it works but I have seen in many chemist shops a sun protecction cream that also protects you from jellyfish bites. I think the brand is Isdin, but as I said I haven't tried it so I do not know if it really works.
 
Here is a picture of the cream

Had a few occasions where I nearly crashed into Jellyfish while swimming last year but seemed to have a sixth sense that pulled me away from them at the last minute. Frantically doing backstroke while hoping the infernal things wasn;t going to drift over on the tide.

Just watch, after that boast I'll be stung to hell and back this year.

Had a horrible moment at a beach down South last year. It was very quiet when all of a sudden there was a real piercing scream from a little girl in the water. One of those screams where you can tell its not put on, its a real genuine scared, in pain yell.

Its really made me a bit nervous to take my baby in the water this Septemer.

Very interested in the cream mentioned on this thread but will keep a full bladder via high ingestion of ale just in case anyone in the vicinity needs slashing on.
 
Piss only works slightly cuz it's warm, and not because it neutralizes anything. If you get stung soak the area in as hot of water as you can stand.
Knowing this, I'd probably still piss on someone if given the chance :D
 
So the hoards of waiters that come legging it across with their trousers round their ankles given half a chance to urinate on a tourist are just doing it as a freaky revenge kick for union jack boxer shorts and west end drunken antics ?!! 8O :)
