Lionfish stings

[starskimac]

Has anyone out there ever been stung by their lionfish? What are the first aid measures to be taken if this happens. And also has anyone ever been stung? I have a 5 inch Lion, that stays out of my way, but I want to know what to do just in case

Use the search option...we just talked about his a week or two ago and had a really good post about it, full of info.

Nevah been stung by Dwarf Lion. I think the only ways to get stung by him would be to really, REALLY piss him off and chase him around with my hand, or, accidentally touch him while moving LR or sumthing.
If you git stung, I would suggest sticking your hand in a pot with the HOTTEST water you can handle (without severly burning yourself ofcourse lol). And if your allergic to bee/wasp stings etc., I would highly recommend you go to the emergency room at your local hospital as an added precaution.

The hottest water is one way, i keep and use vinager for jelly stings coral stings and rubs always carry it when we go scuba diving. vinager works really good
