Redigerer Portugisisk krigsskip (avsnitt)

== Behandling ==

* Skyll hudområdet med sjøvann 
* Fjern trådene (tentaklene) som er festet på huden med hansker, pinsett eller liten pinne (ikke gni eller skrubb). 
* Når det gjelder portugisisk krigsskip skal man ikke bruke eddik for å nøytralisere neslecellene til maneten (slik man anbefaler for [[kubemaneter]]). Dette vil bare kunne forverre situasjonen ved at enda flere [[nematocyster]] (nesleceller) avfyres.<ref>{{Kilde www|utgiver= |forfatter= |utgivelsesdato= |tittel=Sea Critters That Can Really Hurt You! |url=http://www.aloha.com/~lifeguards/portugue.html |besøksdato=11. oktober 2005 |kommentar=Although formerly considered effective, vinegar is no longer recommended for Portuguese man-of-war stings. In a laboratory experiment, vinegar dousing caused discharge of nematocysts from the larger (P. physalis) man-of-war species. The effect of vinegar on the nematocysts of the smaller species (which has less severe stings) is mixed: vinegar inhibited some, discharged others.. |url-status=død |arkivurl=https://archive.today/20120527142429/http://www.aloha.com/~lifeguards/portugue.html |arkivdato=2012-05-27 }}</ref> Bruk heller ikke eddik på vanlige [[brennmaneter]].
* Senk den brente kroppsdelen i varmt vann (40-45 °C), dersom dette er mulig. Dette gir ofte rask smertelindring.<ref>{{Kilde www| utgiver= Med J Aust | forfatter= Loten C, Stokes B, Worsley D, et al.| utgivelsesdato=2006| tittel= “A randomised controlled trial of hot water (45°C) immersion versus ice packs for pain relief in bluebottle stings”.184: 329-333.| url=http://www.mja.com.au/public/issues/184_07_030406/lot11135_fm.html | besøksdato= | kommentar= In a comparison test of hot versus cold therapy conducted at Surf lifesaving first aid facilities at two beaches in eastern Australia from 30 December 2003 to 5 March 2005, they found that immersion in water at  45°C for 20 minutes is an effective and practical treatment for pain from bluebottle stings. An amount of 49 patients received hot water immersion and 47 received ice packs. The two groups had similar baseline features, except patients treated with hot water had more severe initial pain (VAS [mean ± SD]: 54 ± 22 mm versus 42 ± 22 mm). After 10 minutes, 53% of the hot water group reported less pain versus 32% treated with ice (21%; 95% CI, 1%–39%; P = 0.039). After 20 minutes, 87% of the hot water group reported less pain versus 33% treated with ice (54%; 95% CI, 35%–69%; P = 0.002). The trial was stopped after the halfway interim analysis because hot water immersion was shown to be effective (P = 0.002). Hot water was more effective at 20 minutes in nematocyst-confirmed stings (95% versus 29%; P = 0.002). Radiating pain occurred less with hot water (10% versus 30%; P = 0.039). Systemic effects were uncommon in both groups.}}</ref> Det varme vannet ødelegger manetens giftstoffer om det påføres raskt etter kontakten.<ref>Exposure to heat dramatically reduces the lethality of extracted C. fleckeri venom. This experiment shows that exposing extracted C. fleckeri venom to temperatures above 39ºC dramatically affects its lethality. The effect of temperature depends on time of exposure, with higher temperatures reducing lethality in much shorter times. Venom exposed to a temperature of 48ºC for 20 minutes failed to cause death in any experimental animals. At 50ºC, five minutes' exposure was needed for the same effect, and at 53ºC two minutes' exposure. “Temperature effects on box jellyfish venom: a possible treatment for envenomed patients?” MJA 2002 177 (11/12): 654-655</ref> Hold kroppsdelen i vannet til smerten har gitt seg.

* Gjenta behandlingen hvis det fremdeles er smerter fra hudområdet.
* Ring etter lege hvis smertene vedvarer.
