Why would you pee on a jellyfish sting?

Question

I hear that you should pee on a jellyfish sting, should it ever happen. What reason is that? Because if there is ever a chance of getting stung, I'd rather have that one specific chemical, or something. Getting peed on is degrading...

Answer 1

the ammonia stops the stinging.

Answer 2

its because the wee has amonia and that chages the ph of the jelly sting to neutral.... i think lol

Answer 3

Who cares if it works or not when else will you ever have the opportunity to pee on a friend. Someone I know has athletes foot and he was told to pee on it to help it kill the infection. He was to scared to try it so I offered but he wouldnt let me. Who knows if it really works or not.

Answer 4

Correct, vinegar also works

Answer 5

In an emergency, peeing is necessary, it nuetralizes the jellyfish's toxins.
