I had to soak my hand in the hottest water i could stand. After about two hours the worst pain calm down. Still hurt a little after that.

I feel much better now. The pain is gone about 4 hours after the accident, only a little sore but it is nothing though. I was really worry if something happen to my hand there will be no more hand modeling job for me..(Just kidding, LOL..)

Growing up by the beach, I was always told to get the wound in the hottest water you could stand if you get stung. I've even been told (if possible or necessary) to urinate on the wound, since it's a source of hot, sterile fluid. The more you know, I guess.... Glad to hear you're feeling better!

I just try to move this baby to different tank by hand and since he is so small i though i could scoop underneath him. Before I know it, his sting is into my finger. I would never underestimate those rays again. I learn my lession the hard way. Hopefully my hand is OK since my work requires dexterity.

The reason why elasmobranchs survived the extinction of dinosaurs!
