Just Got Stung...What NoW?

[shookONES]

Got sloppy during a water change and go nabbed on my ring finger by my 5-6" marble. What do I do now? Hurts not nothing too wild. I've been liberal with peroxide and hot water. Anything else I need to be doing?

hand above your heart to slow circultion. lots of hot water when first hit..hurts like heck for about 3-4 hours..

Throw back a couple of cold ones, then when it's time to break the seal.....

Hope it's not too bad. Make sure to keep it clean to avoid infection

Yikes! Good advice so far, if your find yourself starting to run a high grade fever...head to the ER

Soak in hot water for awhile. The hot water will break down the venom.

Thanks for the advice guys. I've got my hand elevated and a glass of Chivas sitting beside me. So it's a waiting game at this point?

Yes nothing else you can really do. The pain should subside if you keep treating within a few hours. How bad does it hurt?
