Just in case everyone doesn't already know, urine can provoke jellyfish stingers to release even more venom. Use vinegar or rubbing alcohol instead, or, falling that, seawater.

The damage Friendshas done with this myth is probably on par with Archer and it's made-up association between having a stroke and smelling toast.

Oh did Archer do the toast thing? I heard that way before Archer. Wasn’t it even a Canadian Heritage Moment or something?

They poked a part of the brain of a conscious patient and she reported smelling burnt toast, and they learned stuff about her strokes.

I actually thought most people knew the true story and were just joking when they’d say they’re worried about having a stroke when they smell burnt toast.

My only source on this is the animated penguin movie Surfs Up starring Shia Labeauf but I believe it’s actually sea urchin stings that urine neutralizes the toxin
