Ocean City Jellyfish · Ocean City, Maryland

Do rash guards help prevent jellyfish stings?

Answer

Long-sleeve rash guards and leggings reduce skin exposure for kids and paddleboarders—nothing is perfect when tentacles wrap limbs. Combine with guarded beaches where lifeguards watch for blooms. Still pack vinegar and antihistamine in the beach bag.
