Seabather's Eruption Treatment

Treatment Options

• Hot water immersion (40°C/104°F) is the most effective treatment for jellyfish-related pain, with very low evidence quality, according to the American Heart Association guidelines 1, 2
• Tentacle removal by lifting or pulling (avoiding manual contact) is reasonable, followed by seawater rinsing, as recommended by the American Heart Association guidelines 1, 2
• Topical lidocaine cream (4-15% formulations) may provide pain relief if hot water is unavailable, as suggested by the American Heart Association guidelines 1, 2
