Is vinegar a treatment for a bee sting?

Vinegar may help if a person is stung by a Box Jellyfish. The venom is alkaline, and the acid in vinegar may help neutralize it. By the way, the old standard of urinating on the stung area is not helpful.

It is imperative to get the tentacles off the victim's skin using hot water or salt water and a stick.

The next step is to use water as hot as the victim can stand (don't scald her!) Water under 102 degrees F is useless. Water above 120 degrees is very good. The hotter, the better.

BUT, if the jellyfish is not a Box Jelly fish, then a fast hospital visit is in order, especially if there is fainting, chest pain, or other unusual reaction.
