Quick reversal of stingray sting symptoms

Tressie Armstrong

I love to surf. I love the whole idea of being in the ocean. And I love all of the ocean creatures that share the environment with us.

So when I rode a nice wave into the shore and stepped onto the sand, I was just a little surprised to feel a sharp sting and scrape across the top of my big toe. As I paddled back out to the lineup, I lifted my foot and noticed a small puncture and scratch with a tiny bit of bleeding. I mentioned to my friends that I thought I’d grazed a stingray.

Their concern prompted them to immediately advise me that I should get out of the water right away, that in a short time it was going to begin to really hurt, and that I should take immediate steps to alleviate the potential painful effects of the ray’s poison.
