Jellyfish and Sharks
Jellyfish
If you are stung and no lifeguard is on duty:

-Compact with Sand
-Use an at home remedy such as: hemorrhoid cream, meat tenderizer, or baking powder
NOTICE: Many people are unaware that they may be allergic to jellyfish stings. If you feel a tightening in your chest, difficulty breathing, swelling, or abdominal cramps, see a lifeguard immediately!
Sharks
-In actuality, Florida records less than on shark fatality per year.
-You are thirty times more likely to be killed by lightning or a cow than by shark.
