Pantyhose Can Protect You From Jellyfish Stings

">

If you’re planning your next fishing vacation to Australia, and want to get some wicked surfing no matter the conditions above or below the water (you know who you are). You may want to try this novel and simple (and stylish) idea to protect yourself against jellyfish stingers.

As it turns out some jellyfish stingers are very short, so short that they nylon provides a thick enough layer of protection. Other jellyfish need actual skin contact to sting you, and the thin nylon layer also prevents this. I suppose you could opt in for the commercially made nylon Stinger Suit, but we all know you really want to go as The Flash

So guys, the question is…is it worse to be stung by jellyfish or to be seen wearing pantyhose on the beach?  lol

Since you get sea sick perhaps you should still be dressed in pantyhose in case you fall off the side! :D

I’ve got free boat trips in my cousins boat so i’m gonna buy all the anti Sea-sickness pills i can find, i’m not wasting a free oppotunity like this, (i just hope pills work!)

I believe there are dermal patches that you can wear, I hear they work better (and faster) than the pills. Dunno if they have them in EU..

April, I cannot be sure where the photo was taken. The exhibit above is a travelling exhibit so it could have been at any of their destinations. http://www.savageancientseas.com/

Re: Boomerang Tool: The Pliers That Come Right Back - First Impressions

The pliers do have some small teeth, they don't really show up in these photos but I'll try to get some for the full review. & I'll definitely be testing their durability!
