Fishing cures
Submitted by Ross C on Sat, 2012-01-21 00:20
So I went for a gidji today with my mate and got completly raped by a blue bottle or two and he said that if you piss on it it helps(which I ended up doing), Does anyone else have secrets and tips on how to cure a sting from a blue bottle from things I could take with me next time?

Yeah I just got stung up my arm but I hear some people can react very badly from a sting from a blue bottle, I wasnt a hundred percent sure what it was until I got onto the beach and saw about 50 of them in a ten meter strech, Thanks for the advice

"If a tentacle attaches
"If a tentacle attaches itself to a human, it releases a poison (through the use of nematocysts), and if you continue to rub the skin after the tentacle has been removed more poison or venom will be released. If you are stung, it is best to wash the area without touching. A cold pack should be used to relieve the pain. If stung, please consult a doctor immediately. No fatalities have ever been reported within Australia or New Zealand from the sting of a blue bottle."
