Thread: The Day I Rubbed Urine On My Face In Panama

The day I rubbed urine on my face. Early last year when I broke my ankle, I had to give up running for a bit. So instead I would ride my bike down to the beach everyday and go for an early morning swim. The swims were going well for about a month, having the beach to myself besides a few fishermen in their small boats. Then came jellyfish season. Unaware of this, I went for my swim as usual and lasted a good five minutes before getting bum-rushed in the face by a swarm of jellyfish.

2nd part of the story is quite remarkable too.

I am scared to know about the second part of the story And that is coming from a person that is pretty twisted.

then the solution to get rid of the jellyfish stings is rubbing your face with urine. Well, in my opinion if it will help me a lot, i don't care rubbing urine in my face. I hope it help you, that is one of a kind experience, isn't.

This got me wondering about how to treat jellyfish stings and I googled that subject. This first article does suggest treating with vinegar who stops the action of the toxin. Therefore the ammonia in urine should likely have a similar result. Personally, if I was in intense pain from the sting and didn't have any vinegar in my back pocket, I'd be looking around wildly for some form of acid although I'm not sure whether I'd have any urine left by then!

Then I read the following article and decided that I'd probably go for the sea water approach since there should be a LOT of it around. Apparently urine WOULD NOT be the final answer.....
