Instructions for stinger injury: don't pull stingers off, neutralize with vinegar, call for help. Australia has a number of stinging jellyfish varieties, two of which can be deadly. Swimming beaches are netted for sharks and stingers, though stingers may slip through. We have been advised to wear full-body lycra stinger suits if we swim.
