i got tagged by one of my male motoros in Feb this year, got tagged while trying to stop him trying to mate with one of my girls again she needed a rest. he wasnt very happy as i stopped him in the act:naughty: plus at the time my friend borrowed all of my big nets all i had was a 10in net to catch a 14in angry male. As i netted him he tagged me one my left hand between my thumb and index finger only a minor surface wound that drew blood. But the pain was quite bad i put my hand in hot water for about fifteen mintues and the pain went. Two months later i started to lose all feeling in my thumb and index finger and experiensing electric shocks up my left arm. i went to see a doctor and he recommended me to a specilist. cut a long story short i had to have surgery to repair the nerve damage done to my hand. 18 stiches later the doc told me that there was scar tissue around my major nerve that caused me to lose feeling in my hand. Thankfully im back to normal now:headbang2just a word of caution to other ray
keepers out there. Needless to say that im now extra carefull when it comes to my beloved rays.
