A ray made a small slash on my knuckle at the end of a charter a month ago. It really hurt and bled “like a stuck pig”. I applied a paste made with meat tenderizer and water (per Cookie Boykin’s advice) and the pain went away in 30 minutes.
On another note, if a catfish barbs you, push some the fishes’ slime into the puncture and it won’t even swell. I was told this (and did it the next time it happened) after I had to cut my wedding ring off with a hacksaw from one getting me right in the first joint of my ring finger (obviously). Bob
