Jellyfish + Urine = Gold Medal
This story from Florida - "Hampshire Olympic medal-winning sailor recovered from the potentially fatal sting of a jellyfish to secure a gold medal at a prestigious yachting event."
"Nick Rogers, who was taking part in the six-day Miami Olympic 470 Class Regatta alongside team-mate Joe Glanfield, had to urinate on his own ankle and hands to ease the pain of the sting released by the sea creature, known as a Portuguese Man-o- War."
"The poison of the jellyfish, which has tentacles that can grow to as long as 165 feet (50 metres), has been described as being nearly as powerful as cobra venom and it has been known to have caused several human deaths."
"Amazingly, just minutes after being stung Nick, from Lymington, and Joe had to take part in their third race of the day on the way to finishing first in the event."
"'I was stunned how much it hurt and what made me panic was not knowing what effect it was going to have on me."
"'I didn't know whether I was going to pass out halfway during the day.'"
"'Two minutes before the start of the event members of my crew told me to pee on my hand as a way to get rid of the pain.'"
"'I thought at first they were pulling my chain but I did it and it worked.'"
