Dear Mark or anyone else who knows about "sting protection";

Mr. Pecci alluded to a secret method of sting protection - too valuable
to share with all us Hoi Paloi ;-}.   Anyone got ideas as to just what
it might be?  Any recipies or tactics folks would like to share about
avoiding or quickly treating those nasty stingy jelly-things??
