I dont want to ever get stung but I am curious about those that may have been. Can the Pain be described or compared to anything else? In my mind i imagine a bee sting but like 10x more painful. any stories out there?
Anyone stung by their Ray? Story? PAin Description?

i got stung 3 years ago when i was moving my ray. it fell on my foot and stung me. the pain was really horrible. i could not sit still. you suppose to soak in really hot water for two hour or more. but i just could not take. so i had my friend take me to ER. they gave me morphine and benadryl shot and had me soak my foot in hot water.
the pain is really that bad. i literally could not sit still or think clearly.
Also, i had to be antibiotics for 2 months since i had a nasty skin infection at the sting site. stingray venom affectes you serotonin receptors, so it is not fun at all

To give in and go to the ER i have to think its unbearable. By the way, wat kind of look did the DR give you when you told him you dropped a stingray on your foot? Did you put shoes on that foot or was the pressure too much?
i wore sandals. They thought i was a drug seeker at first. but luckily for me, a nurse recognized me ( i work in hospitals). so they let me in without waiting. I still keep rays. i wont let something like this stop me. never
I've been tagged by both fresh and saltwater rays. Some where worse than others. A dry shot (no sheath, no venom) feels like driving a nail into your hand. A hot tag is like nothing I've ever felt by any other animal.
I know I've posted this story before, so all you old school MFKers can skip it.
When Steve was killed, I was swamped with TV interviews that week. One reporter asked me to describe what it felt like to be stung. I told the reported to take a rusty bent needle, inject yourself with gasoline, then light that on fire.
She just stared at me, then said they probably won't put that on the air later.

I got tagged by my male motoro while trying to move him out with net,
