StingMate® is a vinegar gel with menthol. As you may know, acetic acid is the active ingredient in vinegar that is responsible for neutralizing the stinging cells of jellyfish. It has been trademarked and patent is pending. The problem with vinegar is bulk and weight. No one wants to carry a gallon of it to the beach, on a boat, dive bag, tackle box, etc…. When you pour vinegar on the sting, it runs off and you need a lot to do ensure the area is covered. Our bottle is 4 oz and it goes a long way. In addition, the gel suspends any remaining stinging cells left on the body by the jellyfish. After initial application, it is scraped off and reapplied, then rinsed off.

We believed so much in the product, that Julie flew out to a west coast aquarium and met Chad Widmer who is a world renowned expert on jellyfish. Four people tested the product by laying a 10 inch Pacific Coast Sea Nettle jellyfish across their forearms. Not just a tentacle, but the entire jellyfish. StingMate® First Aid Gel was applied and 2 hours later, out of 4 people, none had a red mark, irritation, rash, or pain. All commented on the cooling effect it had from the menthol. In this scientist’s own words, “When used as directed, StingeMate® reduced the amount of pain caused by stings from some of the nastier surface cruising jellyfish from the Northeast Pacific Ocean.”
