| Don't let a jellyfish sting ruin your day at the beach. If you swim, snorkel, surf, or scuba dive, you've certainly come in contact with a jellyfish before. The sting can be excruciating and can be nearly impossible to stop without immediate first aid. That's when Smithwick's StingMate comes to the rescue. StingMate is a vinegar based gel that is infused with menthol to cool the sting area. Vinegar is a common treatment for jellyfish stings, but the problem with vinegar is the bulk and weight. StingMate solves the problem by making vinegar in gel form so that the volume can be reduced along with the benefit of having a product that will stick to the skin to ensure that the sting area is adequately treated. The 4 oz bottle of StingMate really goes a long way thanks to the concentrated formula. The gel formula suspends the stinging cells of the jellyfish and neutralizes those cells so they can be scraped away. Any small piece of plastic works well for this, but our favorite is a credit card, drivers license, or scuba certification card. Once the gel has been scraped off, you simply rinse the area with water and go back to having fun. If you spend time in and around the ocean, StingMate is definately a product you should keep with you. Give it a try today, we are sure that you will be impressed. |
