If you got stung by a jellyfish and it is itchy for over a week you should really consider going to the emergency room immediatly! What you have is very uncommon and has only happened to several people. Normally, the sting and swollen stuff would be gone in 3 days after the sting. Ask your doctor if this is rare and needs a special treatment. Feel better soon.

When is jellyfish season in Maui?
We've been doing a 10 month house swap here since August and it is now April - and just today, my wife saw a kid get stung by a jellyfish on Keawakapu beach. We've never seen or heard of any other jellyfish incidents since we've been here. Looking online I saw a warning for jellyfish coming ashore in Oahu in May - so maybe the season is April - May? There really is no particular "season" for jelly fish. Jelly fish usually will come into shore, primarily on the leeward side of the islands, about 7-10 days following a full moon. Tradewinds have also been known to blow jellyfish in closer to shore. Best course of action is to be aware of the posted warning signs at the local beaches.
