Jelly Fish in Myrtle Beach
I was stung by a jelly fish in North Myrtle Beach on August 24 - it just stung for an hour or so and a welt formed but by the next day, the swelling was gone. Now, two weeks later, I have developed a raised rash over the area of the sting. Is this normal??
Just wanted those visiting Myrtle Beach to be careful -- there were multiple reports of stings the week we were there. Other than that, we enjoyed our visit.

Beth,

sorry you were stung. I haven't been stung (yet), so can't help you with what to expect.

Sorry I missed your trip report also; hope you had a good time.
