first aid for fish keepers

[wishntoboutside]

with all of the venomous fish out there. I was wondering if anyone knew what type of aid is needed when someone is stung by a rabbitfish or a lion fish. they are so popular in the stores and I have never heard of anyone needing assistance but I would be nice to know before hand.
the only thing that I have encountered so far is urchin thorn in fingers. pain to remove with tweezers and seen to get infected quick with out cleaning and such.
I thought this would be a fun tread to see what mishaps in fish handling one has got themselves into. ie Er trip due to venomous fish and such. thanks for all of your input on this subject.

I got stung by a lion fish one time and a sea urchin the other. No big deal. No first aid needed.

Mushrooms squirt and urchins sting??

I thought mushrooms just propagate and urchins just mind their own business. If everything in my tank worked together, they could totally have me belly up and steal my identity...

uh oh....

I read a story about a guy who got stung so bad by a lionfish that he almost passed out and went into shock/died. It has a lot to do with personal chemistry & how much venom was injected =)

I got stung by a zoa, arm went numb, tasted copper in my mouth for a day. It was not fun.
