The Chesapeake Bay ...jellyfish ...get stung ...the remedy was meat tenderizer powder on the stung area.

In my youth there was no meat tenderizer! Accent and the like are a product of the 1950s I believe. Anyone know for sure?
People living in the southerly states used papaya slices laid on meat for awhile then removed before cooking. Papaya, I understand, has the enzymes that do the job to make the meat tender.
wow
