Vis Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I just got stung by my anemone. It stings like crazy. Any tips on what to do? I’m unfortunately allergic to lidocaine. Don’t tell me to pee on my arm 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radom808 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I've heard vinegar can neutralize stings but I'm no doctor. Just what I've heard. Hope it clears up soon for you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it clears up soon for you Thank you! I ran it under cold water and the pain subsided after about 45 min. I have a red mark left but no more pain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radom808 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Glad the pain went away! At least you know you're not severely allergic to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have an epi pen at home but that would not be a fun experience. It’s completely healed now 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Z Reef Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I’ve noticed the sting only on certain parts of my arm. My fingers are unaffected but the underside of my forearm tends to have a burning or rash sensation occasionally. I usually just wash off with soap and it goes away within 20 mins or so. Seems the older I get, the more my tank bugs me lol! Gloves are definitely not a bad idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m getting gloves and a reacher! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
