Some advice from Hato Hone St John if you get stung by a Jellyfish 🪼

Some advice from Hato Hone St John if you get stung by a Jellyfish 🪼

Jellyfish sting? 🐙

Now we know what you're thinking... but DO NOT p*e on it😆

If you or someone else gets stung,
1️⃣ Avoid rubbing the area.
2️⃣ Wash the sting area with lots of water and gently pull off any tentacles that are still attached to skin.
3️⃣ Pour hot water over the sting area, a hot shower is a good option. If you don’t have hot water, put ice wrapped in a damp cloth, or cold water, on the sting area instead.

⚠️ If the reaction is severe (difficulty breathing, fainting, or severe swelling) – call 111

This will include the areas of Selwyn, Waimakariri, Hurunui, Kaikōura and Christchurch City including Banks Peninsula.
While there has been relief with the recent rainfall, we are still in the middle of summer and it will only take a couple of dry days to go back to very high fire danger.
