>>981078they're no joke. I have a friend who stepped on one when we were teeangers and her food puffed up to the point we thought the skin was going to split. It wasn't so painful apparently as it was hot ( like having water slightly hotter than you can bear poured over it constantly I was told) in sensation. and it hurt to move due to the swelling- we had to carry her up the beach and take her to the local A&E to get fixed up.
I've know about them all my life but had discounted it ever actually happening ect actually seeing the effects of sting was pretty sobering. I'm a britbong and you don't expect shit like this on a sunny summer's day on a beach in North Wales
