Jellyfish sting victims have been warned not to pee on their wounds.
Jellyfish sting victims shouldn't urinate on the wounds
Millions mistakenly believe that urinating on the sting can help treat it and 17 per cent admitted that they would ask a loved one to wee on them if they were stung in the sea.
Three in ten Brits revealed that they would be willing to pee on themselves and have perhaps been fooled by a scene in the sitcom 'Friends' in which Chandler (Matthew Perry) urinates on Monica's (Courteney Cox) leg when she gets stung.
Jack Willians, from the Sea Life London Aquarium, said: "It's true what they say, you shouldn't believe everything you see on the TV.
"Peeing on a jellyfish sting is the ultimate fake news - Chandler, Monica and Joey certainly have a lot to answer for.
"We advise the public to steer clear of bodily fluids if unfortunate enough to get stung and follow some simple steps which don't involve urine."
