Well I also looked it up too.
From Wildmedmd.com says " The jelly fish cannot sting the palm of the hand or sole of the foot ".
From Reddit it said " It's either because the palms have thicker skin or because there are no hair follicles ".
(But like they say "if it's on the internet it must be true".)
But my statement that jellyfish sting "only happens in area with hair follicles and not on the palms" could apply if one were to have hairy palms and feet.
