Hi,

I have had a similar hit as Arkady and Jmricca a couple of years ago near Kau takiap.

The moment I got hit I knew it was serious as it felt like being whipped with an burning whip,not at all like the small itchy stuff.

The hit was over my left forearm.

At that time I was 48 years ,1.93 mtr and 92 kg very fit .

But I had to get out of the water asap and get home,on my motorbike the pain got real bad because of the cold airflow.

At home I kept a towel around my forearm and continue to put hot water on that area,as hot as I could stand it without burning myself.

Most marine poison will lose its affect by heat.

I did this for more than two hours,during that time and after my hart rate became irregular and I became real shaky,plus the increasing pain .

My housekeeper went to get advise from some local fisherman and got back with some fresh herbs that she had to grind and rub over the area,but only with the hair direction,not back and fort.

To make a long story short,I was in a bad shape for a week,but I recovered without any scaring.

The jellyfish was a boxjelly fish, I have two little children I take to the beach,but never in more than ankle deep water.

3 years ago the afternoon for the start of the Hua-Hin triathlon we made a practice swim and one of the swimmers got hit and ended up in hospital,he made it to the start the next morning as a spectator.

I still swim in the sea,but only for competition,my training I do in the swimming pool.
