What happens when a jellyfish stings a human?
Usually, jellyfish stings will hurt, but are not emergencies. Most cause pain, red marks, itching, numbness, or tingling. But a few types of jellyfish (mainly found in Australia, the Philippines, the Indian Ocean, and central Pacific Ocean) are very dangerous, and can cause people to get very sick quickly.

Will vineager help a jellyfish sting?
It doesn't.
....
Vinegar will not lessen the effects of a sting. What it can do, in certain types of jellyfish, is deactivate any unfired stingers. Studies have clearly demonstrated that dousing box jellyfish tentacles for 30 seconds with household vinegar totally inhibits the firing of any undischarged stinging cells. This can certainly be a life-saving part of first aid treatment for box jelly stings, since any tentacles remaining on the victim would otherwise continue to fire more venom, especially when an attempt is made to remove any tentacle remnants from the skin.
On the other hand, the same studies also show that vinegar will cause the tentacles of a few other jellyfish species studied (including Man of War) to discharge some or all of their remaining stinging cells. Do not use vinegar for Physalia stings. Fresh water, urine and alcohol have also clearly been shown to trigger further stinger discharge, so for non-box type jellyfish stings, it's best to try to rinse tentacles off with sea water, scrape them off, or pluck them off. Definitely do not rub them or press on them.
How long does the sting from a jellyfish last?
It depends on the Jellyfish, if it's a baby or if it's small about twenty minutes not long.

How do you stop your nose from stinging?
There are many reasons that your nose could be stinging. It could be because of having a cold and using too many rough tissues or blowing your nose too much. It could also be because of harsh products, like sunscreen, lotions, or acne medicine that you put on your face. There are several tactics you can use to easily end this pain.
1. Flush out your nose with cold water.
While this provides only temporary relief, it will keep your nose from burning for a very short period of time, and can help heal the soreness. Just remember to hold your breath!
2. Use Aloe Vera.
This soothing ointment should help to heal and cool your burning, stinging nose. Sometimes, however, the aloe may sting on a stinging nose. If this is the case, wash the ointment off and flush out your nose with cold water before choosing a different method.
3. Apply Vaseline or Petroleum Jelly.
This can help soothe and soften the skin, as well as heal the inflammation. It helps moisturize dry skin, so you can use it if you have flaky skin or a sunburn, too.
4. Pretend you're a baked potato- Use sour cream.
This may sound odd, but it's usually one of the best ways to relieve stinging in the nose. Simply rub a thin layer of sour cream on the area, and it should instantly cool and refresh your skin. If the cream is natural, it will also help reduce redness and inflammation.
