Jellyfish Sting Repellent

Daniel, you should give this a try. It's a Jellyfish sting repellent. It really work as I have been using it in a jellyfish invested water and never got stung whenever I wear it. Does exactly what the bottle said.

Having said that, if you do spot Portuguese Man-of-War or any other deadly venomed jellyfish, don't trust the cream or anything or even anyone for that matter. Just swim away and go to the shore as fast as you can.

I don't think this cream is designed to save life. It's only to reduce inconvenineces from the irritating stings of an ordinary type jellyfish.
