+1 on the diphenhydramine, you want 50 mg
Papaya juice or meat tenderizer will stop initial burn like magic, protease.
Also most excellent for jellyfish envenomation. It is handy to keep a little dry meat tenderizer in your kit for this sort of thing, keeps better if you keep container cool in a zip lock bag
N.B.
don't try to grab the stinger, you sort of scratch it out with your fingernail or if there is a little more hill in your billy, put mud on it, dry, then remove and mud will pull stinger out
