Bwahah I had to think about that MF thing for a sec

Good thing you didn't get it under the fingernail. <shudder>
I won't have one of those for that very reason, no doubt I'd end up constantly getting poked by it as I was fishing around in the tank

Past time, but HOT water (as hot as you can stand) is a better remedy than anything else you might try. It will considerably reduce the toxicity of the venom. Diving over fields of urchins got a stern lecture about how to treat the symptoms from the divemaster. Be sure to get out all the bits.

Thanks Matt, I actually did that also...since it works so well for bristleworm stings as well. Could be why I'm in pretty good shape today, and I don't think there are any bits left in. Reflexes of a cat....

Is that the Urchine you acquired from me...?
I'm figurin' it is. That's why I gave him away. His tendancy to lunge into a passing hand was unnaceptable behaviour in my house. .
I had thought you could have disciplined him better than myself. Those were the same words I used I think. Remember the story...? I soaked the crotch area of my sweat-pants with the "cat like" reflexes as the spine went under my finger-nail...
"Aaaah suck it up princess..."
