Jellyfish Surge in Ocean City | Washington DC News

Ocean City’s beaches are turning into jellyfish hotspots—with 2,000 stings in just two weeks. Captain Butch Arbin says the critters are “blossoming” thanks to warm water (77°F), calm waves, and spring rains. While painful, stings aren’t dangerous—don’t use vinegar or fresh water, they worsen it. Instead, soak with seawater or make a baking soda paste. And hey, if you’re stung, grab some Thrashers fries or ice cream from Dumser’s for real relief. Cover up with rash guards to dodge the tentacles.
