racefan Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I just got stung by a long spine urchin. I was just reading where they can leave a tiny barb under your skin. Is this anything to be concerned about? It stung me on the end of my index finger WOW THAT HURT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf86123 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 do you see anything hiding under the skin? does it still hurt, especially when you put pressure directly on the puncture site? if not, you shouldnt have anything to worry about, imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwcoralfarm Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Oh god, oh no, man I tell you what I lose more friends every year to Urchin stings then anything else. It was nice knowing you man. Alright so that was a little dramatic, it sure does sting though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf86123 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 at least its not like a porcupine sting, had one get my gf's dog a while back, that was nasty, he must of had 30 quills stuck in his face amazing thing was, he wasnt done, he wanted to kill that porcupine so bad, it took everything i had to hold him back, an if youve ever tried to hold back a 100lb pit who's got his blood boiling, ready to kill something, you know what im talking about. so at least the spines dont stick in you like a porcupines does lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewie Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I have "impaled" myself hundreds of times. They will eventually work their way out. lol! Me too. If you can, try to dig out as much as possible with a clean razorblade. Just make sure not to almost hack off the tip of your finger.(whistle) It's like a gnarly splinter that you can't tweeze out.
