thanks for the suggestions Elm, had a good sleep in this morning and the leg looks much the same, swollen and puffy, its alot easier to hobble on though its still a bit unstable, wound looks ok its only a 5mm slit in my leg who would have thought a little wound like that could cause so much grief anyways feeling much better and staying at home today, good time to do some work on the sail design and other stuff for the yak, cheers boysELM wrote:Might pay to give your local Hospital Emergency a all Ghurkin, if they carry a slime similar to the stingray barb, it is extremely toxic and wounds need to be completely cleaned ASAP. If it is similar to a ray, warm to hot water, take care not to burn yourself of course, but as warm/hot as you can safely bare, will reduce any pain sensation.
Hope all goes well cobber and well done to SquidInk for giving a hand (lucky he was around).

Not sure Craig, the spike on the shark is long and narrow, Ive got a 5mm cut on my leg so it might have gone in 5mm or more, from the lack of pain around the wound and the size of the bloodstain on my pants I would guess they have an anesthetic type compound and an anticoagulant as well, big words ay Bro just remember enshew obfuscation
