liz, did a big blue blubber brush up against you or was it another type of jelly?
was it on the inside arm/leg area?

My experience with 25 years sailboarding and kiting in Moreton bay and listed in order of pain

Moreton Bay Blue (common)
Hurts a little and leaves a red rash with bad stings leaving welts, not really bad enough to take you off the water and takes a lot of stings before you consider quiting. Wearing long pants doesn't help because the stings and lice that hang around them are sometimes in the water and get traped in loose fitting clothing.

Blue Bottle (air sack on top)
Nasty little things that do give a sharp pain and are hard to see. You don't need to be in the water to get stung as they flick up off the rail spray and get ya. I can handle a handfull of hits before I'm off the water not through pain even though it hurts but more through my glands next to my nuts telling me their upset. Pain goes away in a few hours and your back out.

Snotties/lions maine (the big brown things)
I have landed in one of these things and all the tenticals came up over my body which did not tickle one bit. These mothers are really just like one big Blue Bottle and give the sensation of fire in their pain. Once hit your on the beach checking out the red lashes and cursing the thing. The sting marks last for a few days so do show them off to family and friends to gain so hard core beach credability.
Hit bad enough your on land licking wounds but if it's just a flesh wound your back out their with swollen glands and all.

Moreton Bay Box (I think)
Was hit by one of these at Woody Point years ago and only once thank god. Now these things don't kill but they should as pain was intense and the sting zone was bleeding. Pain was so bad just the gental breeze would be unbearable. The wound bled for a few days and scaring was left for weeks after. All I can remember was the pain and how bad it was and how I never want to be stung by the little things again. The sting was a small cluster of crosses down the top of my foot so the things arn't really big. Pain lasted for at least 6 hours real bad and when hit your off the water full stop.

So their my favourite jelly stings in order of pain and hopeing I can add a few more to the list in my carreer. jellies are still not as bad as critter stings which can really mess up a kite session.

doesnt sound too bad liz,
Use some antihistamine cream on it that will take away the itching.
Go to the pharmacy and ask what they recommend, avoid tablets like phenergan as they make you sleepy.
