OP Dear WW: you might not see it, but it apparently is extremely painful. Fifty years ago there
were reports that painful stings from Atlantic jellyfish could be soothed by application of
meat tenderizer, which contains an enzyme said to be capable of detoxifying the venom.
I never got a chance to test it. My wife saw a scientist at Bar Harbor, where she had summer
job in the Laboratories there, scoop a dead jellyfish out of a pail, not stopping to think that
the sting cells were still functional. She said he had great pain in his hand for several hours.
