Always use water that is as hot as you can handle,the trick is to test the water temp with the opposite hand/foot as the spiked one is slightly numbed. There are stories of people boiling the skin off feet trying to stop stone fish pain. Keep changing the water so its as hot as possible as long as possible. ALWAYS CHECK WITH THE GOOD ONE NOT THE CROOK ONE.

Take photos and memories leave only footprints, respect the enviroment when 4 wheel driving , never be too busy to help out someone in need.
Does the hot water work for flatties as well?
The wound seems to bleed more and longer from a flattie than a cattie is this because of different toxins?
Never been tagged by one of those red fuglies but it only took me two goes one flattie and one cattie to learn that gloves are a good thing.
Feelin your pain,

I've had many a spike by a flattie but it was nowhere near as bad as the red rockie one. Somone once told me that you rub the slime off the flattie onto the jab and that seems to help a lot. I haven't tried that yet and hopefully i wont need to.
Years ago a few of us went fishing for flatties after a rather hard night on the drink. Jacko was spiked by a flattie and it was that bad we had to take him to hospital as we thought he was having a heart attack. It wasnt , just the jab was pretty deep and he was quite hung over and i guess it made it feel worse than normal. We still pay out on him over that one.
The wax sounds a little kinky, but hey, if it works then its worth a shot !!
