re: Stingray got me yesterday

In my case shoes don't work. I was in the bay looking for scallops in Port St. Joe, Fl. I was wearing thick socks and wearing tennis shoes. I got stung on the foot. The barb went through the shoe and through the sock. Actually part of the sock was showing on the outside of the shoe. I guess as the barb was coming out it hooked the sock and pulled it through to the shoe.

Anyway, it was painful as hell. Went to the St. Joe hospital. Can't remember exactly what they did but soaked it, probably wrapped it and sent me on my way.
