flame_angel,
A little story for you.
I went surfing early January and while climbing over some rocks to get to some nice rolling swell I slipped and knocked my knee against a rock, continuing along my merry way I enjoyed a reasonable surf for 2 hours, apon trying to exit the water I found it hard to move the knee without grimacing. 2 days later I was in hospital with a rather large bacterial infection. 4 weeks later they cut the knee open and found a small piece of shell stuck in there.
The knee is still sore.
Go see a doctor now.

When I was stung on the finger by my Elegance through an existing cut. It took over 6 months for the swelling to go down completely.
Even had a red line going up my arm for a while.
I just left it but I don't think it was a good idea. Can get anti alergy stuff etc, from GP.

wonder if sps have any toxins that can really cause harm other than someting that a person can be allergic to.

guess we just have to take the precaution and start using gloves.im sure standard crayfish gloves are fine.i use it while diving and it gives me a good grip on a rock when a surge decides to hit.
