Lion venom isn't too bad actually... Speaking from experience, felt like my arm was gonna fall off for a while...

The toxin breaks down in heat - thus putting the stung area in water as hot as one can stand is the general cure (tho it is highly recommended that you visit a medical professional to make sure none of the stinger remains to cause an infection).
