I have a story about a stingray.

My wife and I were at Puerto Vallarta and sitting on the beach. Someone mentioned that they saw stingrays in the water.

Well - a little girl came screaming out of the water and couldn't stop crying.

The parents started yelling at her to stop being a baby.

My wife had enough with that and mentioned that they should have her daughter checked out for a stingray sting since someone mentioned that they had seen stingrays in the water.

They summoned the staff at the hotel and sure enough the little girl had been stung by a stingray.

Boy were the parents embarrassed after that lol.

Those fakkahs have poison on their barbs. It hurts right after they stick you... but it hurts more days later for some reason. My wife got stung on Thursday now that I think about it. She was in pain right away obviously... but it was not bad for a few days. On Sunday though, that poison flamed up with a vengeance. That's when she went in for medical help.

The barbs can break off in your skin. They x-rayed to make sure no pieces of barb were there... and then gave her intravenous benadryl, antibiotics, and morphine. Her foot was on fire and swelling bad. She's got a bunch of meds she's still taking that have helped a lot, but when you get jabbed by a stingray you're going to suffer through some pain for days. Not much they can do about it.

You need to pea on your wife - just kidding.

I heard that doesn't help one bit.

I'm surprised it took this long for the pee remedy to come up. You are correct, the pee remedy is bs. It's said to be a remedy for jellyfish stings though, not stingrays... but it doesn't do anything. I can't remember how that story started... but peeing on a jellyfish sting won't help it.

Anyway... a semi funny about the pee. My wife first went to a Centra Care 24hour clinic... they looked at it and sent her to the hospital because they were clueless. So she goes to the hospital emergency room and tells them she's been tagged by a stingray. She said that all of the doctors were fighting over who could be taking care of it because she was the first stingray victim they had ever had. They literally took her straight back while there was a bunch of people who had been waiting for a long time. As they were wheeling her back, one of the nurses actually asked if they would be applying pee. LOL

I took this last Saturday... Ponce De Leon lighthouse.
The water was perfect, but a stingray tagged my wife's foot twice. She's on steroids, antibiotics, and painkillers still. Hell, they gave her morphine at the hospital yesterday.

Oh man that sucks! I was at stingray city in grand Cayman a couple of years ago and our trip got cut short because a lady got a barb stuck in her leg and when the stingray ripped it out it took half her calf with her. It was pretty gruesome. It didn't mean to sting her I don't think. It was super rough that day and it got washed into her with a big wave. People were fleeing the water like there was a shark attack it was pretty comical on that end, The lady was ok but she missed the rest of the cruise!

I love First Nation names... brings me a sense of pride and respect.

That particular name has jumped to #1 on my list though... WOW. She must've been one hell of a woman! That's fucking killer.

So I made it down about 2 weeks ago. Everything is going great so far. Met some YouTuber that has a channel called sunshine state insider when I went on my first fishing trip. Didn’t know he was a YouTuber till he asked me if he could post me in his videos after the trip but I’m on there a couple of times starting around the 8 minute mark with a few fish. I’m the guy he mentions that brought the live shrimp. Wearing a blue camo looking HUK t shirt.
