How one bad sting stopped thousands more.Coastal Solutions President J.C. “Chip” Grayson’s mission began on a family beach outing, when his four-year-old daughter got a nasty jellyfish sting. Nothing her horrified parents tried relieved the little girl’s pain. In fact, rubbing home remedies onto the skin just increased the little girl’s agony. As his daughter screamed, Chip vowed to find a way to end the pain of jellyfish stings.
Chip worked with Dr. Peter Verity and Dr. Richard Lee of the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography to test various jellyfish sting treatments. Together, they proved that a spray-on lidocaine solution worked best, deactivating the pain-causing nematocysts. Jellyfish Squish® was born.
