Chrysaora quinquecirrha

All the jellyfish venoms are toxic but also stimulate the cell mediated and humoral immunological systems of man. After injection of large doses of jellyfish venom into human skin, a perivascular mononuclear cell infiltration appears within the dermis. This infiltration is composed predominantly of helper inducer cells which produce suppressor activity. It appears that the NK enhancement of human leukocytes in patients envenomated by Chrysaora quinquecirrha is depressed when the clinical lesion is inflammatory (10). Recovery from this suppression follows the amelioration of the acute cutaneous reaction. In other instances, envenomated patients have abnormal macrophage migration tests (11).

However, for Chrysaora quinquecirrha (American sea nettle), Pelagia noc-tiluca (little mauve stinger jellyfish), and Cyanea capHUata (hair or iion s mane jellyfish), do not apply vinegar because it may precipitate firing in these species instead, apply a slurry of baking soda for 10 minutes.
