The big spending policies of Washington’s liberal elite aren’t the only things stinging Charleston area residents. The jellyfish have been busy too- click here to see article. I wanted to do something a little different today and tell you what you should do in case you get stung by a jellyfish while out enjoying our area’s beaches.
According to the Isle of Palms Fire Chief, Ann Graham, a mix of alcohol and baking soda normally quells the pain and allows the wound to heal nicely. However, on rare occasions there may be a need to go to the hospital if the sting victim goes into shock.
Graham also warned against picking up the jellyfish or stepping on them. Sometimes they wash up on shore and are still able to sting you long after they are dead. The tentacles can even fall off and cause a sting if you come into contact with them.
Let’s all be sure to be extra cautious when visiting our beautiful beaches this summer, and avoid harmful run-ins with nature and her little critters.
As for the Washington liberals, my advice is to send strong conservatives like Tim Scott and Jim DeMint to Washington this November. After all, conservatives are not known for stinging taxpayers with reckless spending…
Sincerely,
Mike Sottile
State House Representative
District 112
