Crazy! Just from a Torch too - good thing you didn't get stung by something more potent!

I recently got nailed by a Radiata Urchin which has some decent toxicity. The pain was intense enough that I could use an Exacto blade to cut the spine out and let the poison bleed out without too much notice of the cutting. The Radiata injects a cool looking blue venom that I could clearly see in my finger with streaks that were headed up my finger. Bleeding it out worked well, and the pain as gone in an hour. I think I still have a piece of spine in there that will work its way out though.
