(My boyfriend and I are both huge biology nerds. We’re at the beach.)

Me: “Oh, look a jellyfish. I hope I don’t get stung.”

Boyfriend: “Well, if you do, don’t rinse it off in fresh water. It’ll cause the nematocysts (stinging cells) to discharge and sting you more.”

Me: “Of course not, it’s the change in pH that they sense, right?”

Boyfriend: “Right. Your best bet would be to just let it dry out.”

Me: “That reminds me, which phyla is your favorite?”
