Jellyfish sting?

my friend was stung by a jelly fish while in Antigua last week and the very next day, she awoke with swollen, itchy eyes and swellness around her eyes like bags. She continues to have these symptoms. Have any of you heard of a reaction like this before? Thanks.
Answer:
Sounds like a very severe allergic reaction to the sting, or rather the poison in the sting. She might want to try some Benedryl, oral or get to the doctor for a prescription to reduce the swelling. Also might want to get check for severe allergies. Could be deadly next time. Good health.
She is having an allergic reaction. What she should have done right away was use white vinegar as a rinse. I got stung by a jellyfish when I was little and that is what they did for me. Also, have her take something like Benadryl or some antihistimine.
