Jellyfish are one of the many beautiful animals that’s majestic from afar, but uber annoying in person. Anyone who’s been stung by a jellyfish knows how much of a pain these critters can be. Thankfully, there’s one safer (and tastier!) way you could simulate this sea creature’s glory without getting too close: make a jellyfish shot!
With a few simple ingredients, you can create a mesmerizing experience that will remind you and your friends of the brilliant blue sea. Oh yeah, and don’t forget to add an authentic “green algae” effect in the form of Tribe’s CBD oil!
CBD Jellyfish Shot Recipe
One of the most popular myths people have related to jellyfish is that you could cure a sting with your pee. While many people swear by this old wives’ tale, scientists now believe it’s more myth than reality. In fact, depending on how much sodium is in your urine, you could make your wound even worse by taking a whizz on it.
If you get stung by a jellyfish, the best thing to do is wash your foot off in seawater. You should also carefully remove any tiny tentacles in your foot with a tweezer and take a long, warm shower. To reduce the pain and swelling, doctors often recommend over-the-counter pain relievers or antihistamines.
If you’re afraid you’re having a severe reaction to your jellyfish sting, it’s best to contact a lifeguard immediately and seek medical attention. Please never brush off one of these stings, as the venom could be life-threatening if you have an allergy.
