Have you been bit by your gar?

[Polypterus]

What does it feel like when a gar bites you? I have a 13" Florida gar and I hand feed him cut shrimp. He has come close to my hand and with each feeding he takes it from me more aggressively.

The clarias, fossil cat, and wasp fish all ended in hospital visits. All needed hot soaks (to break down the slime proteins). The clarias hit felt like an ice pick stabbed me in the forearm and required irrigating since the spine went to the bone, webril to pack the wound but leave it open to drain, antibiotic, and a pain shot. I was also given epinephrine for the fossil cat and wasp fish hits because of their venom.

Before I knew they were illegal here I got stung by mine and I didn't go to the hospital should I have gone? It was on my wrist while doing a water change
