I live in Australia and I always find these kinda of things funny because here a sting from a man o war _(aka Blue Bottle)_ is not only a common childhood experience, We have so many stinging animals and plants that our tolerance for pain is apparently quite high. I'd take a blue bottle sting over a bee sting or jumping jack ant bite any day just to avoid all the annoying swelling.
@@ravijat5077 No, it's not. Ammonia doesn't do anything to help with a Man O' War sting. And even if it did, the concentration in urine isn't high enough as most of it is contained in urea. You'd need to leave it sit for a while to let the urea break down into CO2 and NH3.
How I take care of jellyfish stings: DO NOT PUT COLD WATER (it activates the poison) also I wrote this before watching the vid! Rub sand on it while walking back k to the place you are staying at ( which for me would be the condo we own) when you get there alternate WARM WATER and vinegar while scraping a credit card over the sting to get the stinger things out... this happens ALOT to me! Hope this helps

I got stung by one of those things when I was in the 3rd grade at Miami Beach, and it still is the most painful thing I've ever experienced. I still get haunted by it to this day. Keep up the good work!
the reason people say to pee on the stung area is LITERALLY NOBODY carries vinegar or hot water with them when visiting a beach, so the next best thing is pee. So while the best solution is vinegar, you gotta use what's available.

When I was in the 1st grade, one of these things wrapped around my arm and manged to pull me out a little to sea. They apparently have these special tentacles that constrict to reel in prey, and I was small enough that it could actually hold me. A surfer caught me and got me back to shore, but I was terrified and my arm HURT. I had these horrible scars all along my arm that took almost two weeks to go away, and for years afterwards, they would show up whenever I tanned.

Watching content like this has been helping me bit by bit through a kind of controlled exposure therapy, so I really appreciate you doing this. Thank you for helping me feel a little more brave 😊
I never understood why it was called that either, until i saw videos of what they look like when they move through the ocean, like the Royal Navy warships from the pirates of the caribbean. . .which are called Man O' War
Marine creatures stings don't hurt as much as insects their used for paralyzation not pain a jellyfish wants its prey to come to it other than a wasp that wants its predators to stay away
To be very honest, the reactions on Coyote's arm when getting stung is far worse and catastrophic (cellular level) than that on Mark's. You can clearly see the difference, hence explains why Coyote reacts that way - more venom, more pain!
I got stung by a man o' war once and to be honest it wasn't tooooo bad. However, if I do get stung by, say, the Executioner wasp, I'd probably succumb. 😭
Helpful fact: hot water actually remedies most venom stings (not only jellyfish). So if u ever get stung by a stingray or even a bee use hot water for a couple of hours. Hot water works wonders especially for stingray barbs. Speaking from personal experience. The hotter the water the better. But don’t burn your skin off:-)
Producers: "Let's compare two different remedies for Man O' War Stings!" Coyote: "That sounds like a plan. What remedies are you thinking off?" Producers: "Vinegar..." Coyote: "That's a good one..." Producers: "And urine"" Coyote: "Mark... I'm finally going to let you try one of these sting things!"
I wouldn't be surprised if was actually a dilute solution of ammonia. Since the "rationale" behind using urine is it's ammonia content... despite the fact that the majority of it is in the form of urea.
My husband, 10 year old son and 5 year old son were all stung by Man o war when we went to Hawaii last time. Poor guys. I showed my youngest this video so he knows how brave and strong he was.
I can’t believe you didn’t say “I’m mark vins, and I’m about to enter the sting zone, with the Portuguese.. *MAN O’ WAR* Edit 1: wow last time I saw this it had like 1 like thanks
@SilverDrago anything can kill a person even if science says people can’t die from said animal/bug or whatever. It’s true. Anything can happen you could have an allergic reaction . Don’t close your mind off like that
I appreciate you differentiating the Man o’ War (aka Blue Bottle) from other jellyfish. Siphonophores are not a jellyfish but they are closely related… One interesting difference is that Man o’ Wars don’t swim, they sail with the wind while jellyfish actually swim. If you actually wanted to get stung by the “baddest” jelly around, I’m pretty sure that’s the box jelly or the Irukandji! They’re the most venomous jellyfish, and I actually wouldn’t recommend it! They’re found in Australia, and a few years ago a couple of scientists nearly died after getting accidentally stung while studying them. (Yes I know I’m late to the party). I’m still shocked by what you guys put your bodies through in the name of science. I’m a microbiologist and I couldn’t do that, but there are scientists before me who have. To be that’s the “Brave” part of “Brave Wilderness”. I used to think the channel was nuts, but I’ve grown to respect you guys a lot more due to the science and potentially life-saving information you include.
I’m from Florida and was stung by a Portuguese man o war. Everyone on the beach was getting stung and I remember there was a line of people waiting for the lifeguard to spray windex on their sting. Anyway, it works. The windex provided immediate relief
I'm Curious..how long til it stopped the pain & did you also Scrape the sting ? I'm from KY and don't like going to the beaches, because of my fear of sharks & jellyfish. But a jellyfish still almost got me just because I was walking barefoot😬 in the sand & it had washed up. It looked just like a plastic bag. Someone Buried it after that.
@@kimberlybowman8955 I think blue bottle sting last around an hour or 2, and can be treated so it doesn’t hurt that much, and Don’t worry about sharks, statistically you are 10x more likely to get killed by a falling coconut than to die to a shark,
@Dennis McConnell shark attacks are somewhat commom as they mistake humans as food but don't forget we are going into THEIR territory. sharks aren't evil, malicious animals. they simply hunt for food just like land predators do.
@@aaa-sz9ul That's because humans hardly spend any time (if ever in their lives) in the ocean. It's like saying people are more likely to get into a car crash than bit by a shark... well of course- humans are always in cars everyday for up to hours upon hours at a time. If every human on the planet spent even 30 minutes in the ocean per day, shark statistics would be much more realistic to use to compare to daily human land activities (like being around trees!) For people that go into the ocean on a regular basis, the statistics are way different for them vs the millions of people that will never step foot into the ocean.
Lucky you didn't try one of those notorious box jellyfish we have here in Oz! We've known for ages about vinegar down here and beaches with box jellyfish have first aid stations that normally keep vinegar on hand for such emergencies.
They are not the same as man of wars tho. It's like saying I got bit by a lil house spider in UK to saying I got bit by a fkin pan sized tarantula in africa
a feature of these when they sting in real life is that the tentacles stretch out as you pull away from the floating part. When they stretch out over your skin the tentacle becomes clear with evenly spaced blue dots about a half inch or so apart. each of the blue dots leaves a welt where it touches your skin. rows of welts, some close together others more far apart. Worst sting i ever got from one of these was when one of these guys got tangled up with me after a wipe out surfing at a place called Horners on Kauai when i was a kid. The tentacles managed to get everywhere , even through the waste band and out the leg of my trunks. Hadda go with option 1 and hot sand. Vinegar just is never around when ya need it. I remember dreading that I might not make it to the beach, the sting was more than just painful, it does things to your mind i think because the pain is so great.
I swam face first into a man-o-war at palm beach. It was f'n horrendous. I've got scars on my face from it. These blue Portuguese hydrozoa a-holes f'ked me up something fierce.
My neck got barely grazed by one of these when my family went to Hawaii a few years ago. Luckily it was a tiny one so it didn’t wrap around me or anything, but it did hurt a lot. I also had recently seen a video on how hot water helps, and I can testify that it really does.
It's so beautiful though! Thank you Mark and Coyote! You go through so much pain to help all of us and to better understand these beautiful creatures! So thank you!
Yea dude they are so cool they little have cells that shoot out venom and then their are some sea slugs that can eat their tentacles and use them as venom for their spikes and their is also a plant that throws them at its enemies
Living in Australia I have been stung by these creatures that are actually called blue bottles here. The venom is alkaline based, therefore treating it with an acid will neutralize and stabilize its affects. Hot water is also effective to a point at relieving the pain, as hot as you can humanly withstand without burning yourself. The pain usually begins as a tingle and fairly rapidly develops to become more painful. As for the scraping of the skin with a plastic card, this is not a god idea because it can also spread or smear the stinging cells along the skin and cause a larger area to be affected. They are not generally considered very dangerous, however are quite painful if stung well. Generally it all depends on where you are stung and how badly and how many tenticles you get hit with. Peace.
I was wondering about the name of these guys after seeing the name of the video, yet they are called something else by us! I'm from South-Africa and we have them at all of our beaches. I have luckily never had the unfortunate experience of having been stung by one, but I know a lot of people who have. We also call them blue bottles, so I was looking for a comment saying that they know them as blue bottles as well. I don't know if there are maybe different types of blue bottles, and thus they have different names, or maybe people didn't realize they are found in other places as well 🤷♀️
@@lianabotha0355 that’s because Americans have to make EVERYTHING difficult… drive backwards, measure in feet, use Fahrenheit, miles, blah blah blah the list goes on lol.
Thought I had a length of blue cotton stuck to my legs hairs, when in the Indian Ocean! As I pulled it away, the instant, excruciating pain was something I'd rather not feel again. After a day or two the surface skin began to dieback and left a scar that took months to fade. Ive only just discovered what stung me. Maldives was gorgeous, but I didnt see anything in water - so beware!
6:55 Gets stung by man-o-war and uses vinegar to nullify sting: *tense music* Pulls out pee spray bottle: *light-hearted music* Sprays pee on arm: *back to tense music*
I was bitten by a Portuguese man-of-war on the legs while swimming in the sea. It was very painful, as if something had electrocuted me, and I had to go to the emergency room because the reaction was very strong. I was treated with intravenous cortisone. The pain was tremendous. It felt as if an iron was stuck to my skin for more than 6 hours. Today, 6 days later, I have an unbearable itch in the affected areas. I will go to the doctor again because I could not sleep last night. I used white vinegar, but what helped me the most was aloe vera gel for the intense burning. I didn't use hot water because I was unaware of it. This sting can be very dangerous. The Portuguese man-of-war is very aggressive when it touches the skin, and today, on my sixth day, I still have a strong reaction and my skin looks burned where it touched me.
I imagine if you were in the Wild your not gonna have a spare bottle of vinegar around and urinating on the spot would probably be your only option except for the hospital

Dude, kuddos to the sound department. Right on the spot.
Mark getting stung: Reacts like nothing happened!
Coyote getting stung: The whole world would know! And Mark would be telling him are you ok!??!
To be very honest, the reactions on Coyote's arm when getting stung is far worse and catastrophic (cellular level) than that on Mark's. You can clearly see the difference, hence explains why Coyote reacts that way - more venom, more pain!
I got stung by a man o' war once and to be honest it wasn't tooooo bad. However, if I do get stung by, say, the Executioner wasp, I'd probably succumb. 😭
@@jessonabragan8132 A blue bottle will make you try to get it off you and maybe swear, but even a wasp sting is more painful and will get you wincing
Helpful fact: hot water actually remedies most venom stings (not only jellyfish). So if u ever get stung by a stingray or even a bee use hot water for a couple of hours. Hot water works wonders especially for stingray barbs. Speaking from personal experience.
The hotter the water the better. But don’t burn your skin off:-)
When you don’t have hot water. You pee on it hahha. Pee is pretty hot warm. 😂
Thanks
that's how the lifeguards treat bluebottle stings on bondi rescue lol
Producers: "Let's compare two different remedies for Man O' War Stings!"
Coyote: "That sounds like a plan. What remedies are you thinking off?"
Producers: "Vinegar..."
Coyote: "That's a good one..."
Producers: "And urine""
Coyote: "Mark... I'm finally going to let you try one of these sting things!"
Lol, that was pretty funny.
😂😂😂😂
I wouldn't be surprised if was actually a dilute solution of ammonia. Since the "rationale" behind using urine is it's ammonia content... despite the fact that the majority of it is in the form of urea.
@@K.Marie119 It would make sense, but he really looked disgusted and they blurred it out lol

My husband, 10 year old son and 5 year old son were all stung by Man o war when we went to Hawaii last time. Poor guys. I showed my youngest this video so he knows how brave and strong he was.

@SilverDrago Fair enough

@SilverDrago anything can kill a person even if science says people can’t die from said animal/bug or whatever. It’s true. Anything can happen you could have an allergic reaction . Don’t close your mind off like that
@SilverDrago are you really mad over what I said lol I wasn’t even insulting you I was just saying lmfao
I appreciate you differentiating the Man o’ War (aka Blue Bottle) from other jellyfish. Siphonophores are not a jellyfish but they are closely related… One interesting difference is that Man o’ Wars don’t swim, they sail with the wind while jellyfish actually swim. If you actually wanted to get stung by the “baddest” jelly around, I’m pretty sure that’s the box jelly or the Irukandji! They’re the most venomous jellyfish, and I actually wouldn’t recommend it! They’re found in Australia, and a few years ago a couple of scientists nearly died after getting accidentally stung while studying them. (Yes I know I’m late to the party). I’m still shocked by what you guys put your bodies through in the name of science. I’m a microbiologist and I couldn’t do that, but there are scientists before me who have. To be that’s the “Brave” part of “Brave Wilderness”. I used to think the channel was nuts, but I’ve grown to respect you guys a lot more due to the science and potentially life-saving information you include.
I’m from Florida and was stung by a Portuguese man o war. Everyone on the beach was getting stung and I remember there was a line of people waiting for the lifeguard to spray windex on their sting. Anyway, it works. The windex provided immediate relief
I'm Curious..how long til it stopped the pain & did you also Scrape the sting ?
I'm from KY and don't like going to the beaches, because of my fear of sharks & jellyfish. But a jellyfish still almost got me just because I was walking barefoot😬 in the sand & it had washed up. It looked just like a plastic bag. Someone Buried it after that.
@@kimberlybowman8955 I think blue bottle sting last around an hour or 2, and can be treated so it doesn’t hurt that much, and Don’t worry about sharks, statistically you are 10x more likely to get killed by a falling coconut than to die to a shark,
@Dennis McConnell shark attacks are somewhat commom as they mistake humans as food but don't forget we are going into THEIR territory. sharks aren't evil, malicious animals. they simply hunt for food just like land predators do.
Probably just the alcohol in the windex
@@aaa-sz9ul That's because humans hardly spend any time (if ever in their lives) in the ocean. It's like saying people are more likely to get into a car crash than bit by a shark... well of course- humans are always in cars everyday for up to hours upon hours at a time. If every human on the planet spent even 30 minutes in the ocean per day, shark statistics would be much more realistic to use to compare to daily human land activities (like being around trees!) For people that go into the ocean on a regular basis, the statistics are way different for them vs the millions of people that will never step foot into the ocean.
The fact they have to blur out the urine. Says a lot about RUclips
Did they? I thought that bottle was just more opaque
@@jazzabighits4473 just checked it’s blurred
You can literally watch a deer’s head get blown into a hundred pieces by a hunter but they blur out some urine. Smh
They can show someone getting stung by a jellyfish but no urine lol
@@AUtigers4ever its for yt recomendation purposes,you dont see those type of videos recommended bc they break yt terms and service
Lucky you didn't try one of those notorious box jellyfish we have here in Oz! We've known for ages about vinegar down here and beaches with box jellyfish have first aid stations that normally keep vinegar on hand for such emergencies.
That's a beautiful jellyfish and deadly. Very gorgeous animal.
I was expecting Mark to be screaming on the ground. Well done
(thats because they dont hurt that bad)

Well try getting stung by a black ant that is 1 or 2 inches long
And try an executioner wasp
Aussie be like "oh hey its a blue bottle" "we get stung my them all the time" 🤣
BLUE BOTTLES!!!
They are not the same as man of wars tho. It's like saying I got bit by a lil house spider in UK to saying I got bit by a fkin pan sized tarantula in africa
@@HELPICANTFINDJOHNCENA a blue bottle is literally the exact same animal as the Man o War
@@HELPICANTFINDJOHNCENA only difference is that the Australian version is called the Pacific Man o War, but they’re essentially the same species
@@yeee33333 Box jellyfish enters chat....
a feature of these when they sting in real life is that the tentacles stretch out as you pull away from the floating part. When they stretch out over your skin the tentacle becomes clear with evenly spaced blue dots about a half inch or so apart. each of the blue dots leaves a welt where it touches your skin. rows of welts, some close together others more far apart. Worst sting i ever got from one of these was when one of these guys got tangled up with me after a wipe out surfing at a place called Horners on Kauai when i was a kid. The tentacles managed to get everywhere , even through the waste band and out the leg of my trunks. Hadda go with option 1 and hot sand. Vinegar just is never around when ya need it. I remember dreading that I might not make it to the beach, the sting was more than just painful, it does things to your mind i think because the pain is so great.
I love how they don't put 10 ads, and also they don't take an easier way and get the smallest jellyfish/weakest one. Huge respect for these guys

Coyote be like I'm going to enter the sting zone of an AK-47
Today, I'm going into the dismemberment zone... of a M214 Abrams tank! We have our EpiPens ready!
Today we are gonna get bitten by a mouse...
I swam face first into a man-o-war at palm beach. It was f'n horrendous. I've got scars on my face from it. These blue Portuguese hydrozoa a-holes f'ked me up something fierce.
My neck got barely grazed by one of these when my family went to Hawaii a few years ago. Luckily it was a tiny one so it didn’t wrap around me or anything, but it did hurt a lot. I also had recently seen a video on how hot water helps, and I can testify that it really does.
I just got stung today on my elbow
Absolutely. I live in Australia and blue bottles are huge here. Vinegar is not recommended anymore. Hot water is by far the best remedy
I got stung when I was 12, and the tentacles went everywhere cause it fell on my limbs in a giant wave.
Is windex or hot water better?
I'm wondering whether that's where the urine comes in. Fresh urine is warm and if you're somewhere you can't get hot water....
Coyote: I’m going to get stung by a giant hornet
Mark in 2067: I’m going to get bit by a Lion
Dead 💀
I love how he stops caring about the sting and gets grossed out by pee
im amazed how he can still talk and move after being in huge amount of pain
Ooooh it's coyote's turn to ask if mark's ok lol
Props to mark for doing this willingly 👏
Behind the cam
Coyote: has gun pointed at him
Got stung by one of these and cried in front if my date. She understood
It's so beautiful though! Thank you Mark and Coyote! You go through so much pain to help all of us and to better understand these beautiful creatures! So thank you!
Sign: Do not touch the Man o’ War jellyfish if you see it.
Mark: LETS GO GUYS WE CAUGHT ONE!
Yea dude they are so cool they little have cells that shoot out venom and then their are some sea slugs that can eat their tentacles and use them as venom for their spikes and their is also a plant that throws them at its enemies
😂
@@BossOfAllTrades OP jellyfish 😅
I love this channel and how they’re always changing it up and being original. Super educational and fun
Living in Australia I have been stung by these creatures that are actually called blue bottles here. The venom is alkaline based, therefore treating it with an acid will neutralize and stabilize its affects. Hot water is also effective to a point at relieving the pain, as hot as you can humanly withstand without burning yourself. The pain usually begins as a tingle and fairly rapidly develops to become more painful. As for the scraping of the skin with a plastic card, this is not a god idea because it can also spread or smear the stinging cells along the skin and cause a larger area to be affected. They are not generally considered very dangerous, however are quite painful if stung well. Generally it all depends on where you are stung and how badly and how many tenticles you get hit with.
Peace.
I was wondering about the name of these guys after seeing the name of the video, yet they are called something else by us! I'm from South-Africa and we have them at all of our beaches. I have luckily never had the unfortunate experience of having been stung by one, but I know a lot of people who have. We also call them blue bottles, so I was looking for a comment saying that they know them as blue bottles as well. I don't know if there are maybe different types of blue bottles, and thus they have different names, or maybe people didn't realize they are found in other places as well 🤷♀️
Same in South Africa, they can be quite common. What you said is totally correct, certainly don’t want to try scraping the skin with a credit card.
@@lianabotha0355 that’s because Americans have to make EVERYTHING difficult… drive backwards, measure in feet, use Fahrenheit, miles, blah blah blah the list goes on lol.

Thanks for the info
Thought I had a length of blue cotton stuck to my legs hairs, when in the Indian Ocean! As I pulled it away, the instant, excruciating pain was something I'd rather not feel again. After a day or two the surface skin began to dieback and left a scar that took months to fade. Ive only just discovered what stung me. Maldives was gorgeous, but I didnt see anything in water - so beware!
Mark took it like a champ for us and even remained calm what an absolute mad man 😳
I have an incredible fear of jellyfish after dropping one on my foot as a kid. You're a braver man than I am, Mark.

Do not worry you are pretty brave too

Gets stung by man-o-war and uses vinegar to nullify sting: *tense music*
Pulls out pee spray bottle: *light-hearted music*
Sprays pee on arm: *back to tense music*
I was bitten by a Portuguese man-of-war on the legs while swimming in the sea. It was very painful, as if something had electrocuted me, and I had to go to the emergency room because the reaction was very strong. I was treated with intravenous cortisone. The pain was tremendous. It felt as if an iron was stuck to my skin for more than 6 hours. Today, 6 days later, I have an unbearable itch in the affected areas. I will go to the doctor again because I could not sleep last night. I used white vinegar, but what helped me the most was aloe vera gel for the intense burning. I didn't use hot water because I was unaware of it. This sting can be very dangerous. The Portuguese man-of-war is very aggressive when it touches the skin, and today, on my sixth day, I still have a strong reaction and my skin looks burned where it touched me.
Me: shoots mark
Mark: ooh ok that burns. It’s kinda hurting now
Lol 😆 🤣 😂
Pretty much yea😂
lmao

you cant kill an australian they are immortal
Here in Portugal we call them "Caravelas" and they usually get waaay bigger then that.
Wow, you gotta *be brave* to be stung by a Man O’ War
And to do it *twice*

Title: "STUNG by a Man O' War Jellyfish!"
In Video: "This actually isnt a jellyfish"
Until this moment, I didn’t know that anyone other than Coyote Peterson was a main guy on this channel.
Mark actually started the channel, coyote was his friend that was also in the channel
Honestly same
Same 😳
However I like Coyote more
Coyote took to many stings and he pussed out
"I'm Mark Vins.. and I'm about to enter the DEATH zone with the Australian Box Jellyfish.."
Next video??? Lol
Those things are tiny as well.
I imagine if you were in the Wild your not gonna have a spare bottle of vinegar around and urinating on the spot would probably be your only option except for the hospital
You know it's bad when a sting feels worse than it looks.
THIS IS THE ONE PEOPLE BEEN TRYING TO SAY "IF YOU SAW THIS YOU SHOULD RUN!!!".
also mark: HOLD MY CAMERA..
“Aww man that one nailed me”
I'm glad they threw in the warning about not attempting to recreate this experiment, since I probably would have gone ahead and tried it.
