"If you are stung by jellyfish, do not rinse with fresh water. You can use alkaline lotion, such as seawater, alcohol and soapy water, to flush or apply to the wound," said Cheng Yanfeng, a dermatologist at Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University.
"If there is a severe allergic reaction, such as chest problems and dizziness, go to the hospital as soon as possible," he said.
"Besides jellyfish, people may also be bitten by sea anemone, but this is very rare," he said.
Jellyfish are usually seen along China's coastal waters, including the Yellow and Bohai seas as well as the northern part of the East China Sea.
