Lionfish got me today.

[Garf]

I think a snake is much worse. Snakes inject venom, lions and foxes just have defensive painful venom.

I got bitten by the same snake, took a long time to stop bleedin’. My rat snake was non venomous, unless you are a rat or mouse, when definitions are pointless

 

[Gatorpa]

Once the swelling went down I wasn't too worried. It was like a bad bee sting. If it got worse I would have done something differently.

Honestly you did exactly what we would have done if you went to the ER. Unless you were having anaphylaxis. Then you may get epi or steroids.

The benadryl will help and make it less sore tomorrow

I’ve had kidney stones 3 times, still don’t drink enough water. Dumb.

I'm not really sore right now. The punctures are still sensitive and my knuckle is still a bit tender, but I'm sure I'll be fine.

Thanks for the verification. I wonder if ER staff in New England would understand what I was talking about . A fish stabbed you with venomous spines???

Lol sometimes they have guys that do locums and ya might get lucky.
Or Dr Google…

It was actually something I learned being a diver Pre PA School.

I snapped my rib last week by trying to bend a bracket for my wife’s tank last week. Dang it hurts. My first aquarium related agony. My brain is 18, my body is 52.

Really? Drink some milk!!

Really? Drink some milk!!

I’ve broke loads of stuff over my 52 years. Milk don’t help, Jack Daniels does, short term

 

[G Santana]

Now you have fish cred, just show refers your scar lol
Glad you're ok!!!

 

[bobnicaragua]

I’m surprised the lion fish wasn’t ripped to pieces by your dachshunds. A few stings wouldn’t have slowed down my old dachshund, Bob!

 

[I never finish anythi]

Man up , seen the guy on brave wilderness take a sting off a lion fish no problem lol jk hope all is ok .

 

[Widdlyscudds]

now your gonna have to bop him one to reestablish who the alpha fish is

 

[jasonrusso]

This is the attacker!!

 

[Andreas' Reef]

I’m sure any women reefers on here will explain the pain of childbirth. If it’s anything like breaking your jaw by hitting the tarmac, off a push bike, yeah.

One up

I was doing some maintenance on my QT tank and my antenata lion was right up at the top begging for food. I'm still not sure what happened, but I must have put my hand over him and he jumped out of the water!!

I looked down and he was on the floor on his belly with his spikes straight up in defense mode. I used 2 nets to scoop him up and put him back in. He's fine and he ate tonight.

Now to me, he got me in 4 spots. I was prepared for this so I ran to the sink and put my hand under the hottest water I could stand for a couple of minutes, it hurt like hell. Then I cleaned it with peroxide and put triple antibiotic on it.

It was throbbing pretty good for a while and after an hour my knuckle started swelling. I put ice on it, but now I feel fine. I have a deeper respect for lions now

Ive gotten it several times and really hurts but quickly goes away. Ice is your friend

 

[WRB]

Mine managed to nail my arm after he died!
My heater failed and I lost 2, each about the size of a kids soccer ball.
I netted the one out and when I got the second one his body weight rolled in the net and the spikes basically just walked up my arm, 6 or 7 punctures. Arm balloned up, called the poison hotline, soaked in hot dish soap water.
Did the trick, I was more ticked than in pain. He got the final word.
Fantastic fish.

Try some Woodford Reserve Double Oaked for medium term relief.

[GHOSTLY]

When i was younger we had lionfish and I got pricked by one. 2nd worst pain I've felt behind cicadas screaming in my ears when I went to Asia
