The three goals of first aid for uncomplicated stings are to prevent injury to rescuers, deactivate the nematocysts, and remove tentacles attached to the patient. Vinegar (3-10% aqueous acetic acid) may be used as a common remedy to help with box jellyfish stings. Clearing the area of jelly, tentacles, and wetness further reduces nematocyst firing. Scraping the affected skin with a knife edge, safety razor, or credit card may remove remaining nematocysts. Immunobased antivenins have been available since the 1970s; administration requires medical personnel and refrigeration and are used in extreme cases.
