A jelly fish sting would produce an immune response similar to a severe burn or an over reaction/allergy. Inflammation is one of the first responses.
The symptoms are redness, swelling, heat, and pain, which are caused by increased blood flow into tissue. Inflammation is produced by local hormones released by injured cells. These include prostaglandins that produce the dilation of blood vessels and leukotrienes that attract certain white blood cells. These and other chemicals recruit immune cells to the site and promote healing of any damaged tissue.
Contrary to popular belief, you should never urinate on a jellyfish sting. This will just make the problem worse, as does washing the sting with fresh water.
