Are all Jellyfish nasty?

[Howardnp]

If you are stung by a jelly fish and you haven't got vinegar you can always wee on it!!

If the tentacles are still on you, don't brush them off, just fires more of the stinging cells.
Mooring ropes that have been in the sea a long time and have growth on them often have stinging hydroids attached (more tropical/subtropical than UK).
Always thought the Portugese MoW floated on the surface and moved with the wind rather than submerged and swimming? It's not a single animal by the way but a colony of 'em.

True. PMoW float, but they do 'dip' the sail in the water to keep it moist.

If it is under water, it can't be a live one.

Well in fact the same day you had jellyfish so did we. Anyway I showed them a picture of your boat, and gave them some jelly babies, and off they went, leaving us to swim merrily! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Thanks. They were crap, even with double cream.
