Frequently asked questions

What is Sting Stop?

  • Sting Stop is a natural ingredient serum made from a digestive enzyme (papain) and distilled vinegar (4% acetic acid) that helps to breakdown certain proteins in the jellyfish venom.

How do I apply it?

  • First, remove any lingering tentacles or stinging bits from the skin — the best way to do this is by flushing the stung area with sea water (NOT fresh water). Then, very gently (do NOT scrape) pat the area dry with a clean towel. Generously spray the remedy over the whole abrasion, and leave it to air-dry.

How long does it work and does it need to be reapplied?

  • The remedy will begin working on contact! Most minor stings will feel relieved immediately and won’t require a second application, but a more intense sting may need another spray. If the irritation persists, reapply until the sting stops!

When does the bottle expire?

  • The serum will remain active indefinitely, so if you don’t use it all this season, you’ll have some for the next!
