DO NOT PEE OR PUT VINEGAR ON JELLYFISH STINGS, IT ACTUALLY MAKES THEM WORSE

Flushing with vinegar, once believed to be useful at neutralizing the tentacle stinging apparatus of box jellyfish, has been shown to amplify rather than palliate the effects of a box jellyfish sting.[15]

Vinegar may kill rather than cure victims of box jellyfish stings, Queensland researchers have found.

The remedy, used for decades to treat stings, causes up to 60 per cent more venom from the lethal jellyfish to be discharged into the victim.

The findings have prompted calls for the Australian Resuscitation Council to revise their sting treatment guidelines.

Research co-author and venom expert Jamie Seymour says the research changed his mind about vinegar.

"I thought I'd be able to show the world why you use vinegar," the James Cook University associate professor said.

"But what we found was that by using vinegar, what you're effectively doing is increasing the venom load in the victim."

this is recent research, only april of this year, this explains why the belief is so prevalent

EDIT: this is research from the AMA guy speaking in this thread

stuff like "green libertarianism" is the sound of compromise between faith in a simplistic philosophy and someone's intellect waking up and seeing the problem

eventually they make the transition and aren't libertarians at all anymore. intellectual maturity is about abandoning the sophistry we embraced as passionate but unaware teenagers
