Treat the wound for possible infection. I would Hibiclens the shite out of it. The last thing you need is Vibrio after dealing with the pain of a sting ray barb lodging in ur foot. If you are past that window of initial infection, just keep the wound clean and go see a Dr if it looks like it is getting infected please. Vibrio has an extremely short fuse. Scalding hot water dulls the pain but that is really for immediately being hit.


absolutely.

had a friend get barbed by one and it went to shite quickly with infection

Same, in boat they catch a .22 HP to the eye hole.

In surf, line gets cut.

Hot water as hot as you can stand... If available hit urgent care. That's about it. Don't pee that's just dumb.

I've been stung twice. Hot water is the only thing that helps.

They suck, the pain is immense and I have a high tolerance for pain (I broke my leg, cut grass, bathed the dogs, went to the doctor the next day as an example)

If the water makes the pain go away at 111 degrees, the pain comes back at 110 degrees. The hottest you can stand it, do that for 2-4 hours then the pain is manageable enough to get it out of the water.
