Are you sure it wasn't a rattlesnake?

Yeah, 10 million surfers must all be on acid when they piss on their urchin punctures.

This is a bit late, but for future reference, Benadryl is great for the hive/itchy/bug bite sort of stuff because it stops the body's histamine response to whatever substance the bug left you with. By blocking the histamine response, the swelling, burning and itching tends to subside quicker than doing nothing at all.

If you can find it, there's a topical Benadryl with Lidocaine in it. Works great!

Rub your piss on those bites. It works.

What are those things called in Hawaii, not jelly fish, but they sting worse???



Well, anyway, my little bro got stung by a bunch of them last time the family was there on vacation. He was in soooo much pain. Dad ran to the first aid station, got back and we all started peeing on my bros stings. It does work.

Heh, I pissed on my little bro.

Sea urchins. Pronounced - Vahnah
Go right into your flesh then shatter like glass.
You get urchin in your skin and it will be ugly for quite a while until your body rejects it with oozing puss.

No, this was different than those. Like a manta ray and a jelly fish mix type fish/animal.


Ohhhhhh, Man of War.

reading the description, my bro could be dead, he got hit with a school of these and had a very bad reaction. They were moving quick with him, they being the first aid/lifeguards.

I got very familiar with those growing up surfing in florida. Some of the worst pain I've ever felt.

And unfortunately splat is right about pissing on the stings. Never heard it about urchins though. I could have used that info in costa rica one year when a wave sucked dry on me and I got about 15 spines in my foot.

That's it, Altagirl got stung by a Man o' War!
Mystery solved.
I heard the mountain version is wicked potent.
