In the Caribbean the season runs through summer and the culprit, the tiny thimble jellyfish larva, sends hundreds of divers directly to their doctors with serious welts and even vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, and muscle spasms. In brief, don't rub, don't take a warm shower, and immediately apply a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and vinegar. Lacking that, try pure vinegar or even Windex. Next, apply a hydrocortisone cream/lotion twice a day.
