My arm was also swollen for hours ... but the 4 'puncture wounds' did not 'heal up' for months.

the puncture area is still black, but the swelling has gone. i quickly squeezed as much blood out as possible. some blood got onto my pointer and middle fingers and they also went numb for about 30 mins. it was a weird feeling - not true "pain", but very very uncomfortable. the hot water soaking eased the pain...i had the sweats and nausea around the 20 min mark. i thought of going to the ER, but the pain stopped at my wrist. just have to be more wary when i put my hand in the tank. :banghead: wonder if the govt ever used this method of torture??? :scratch: stay safe my fellow reefers...

Sorry you got stung Doug! Glad you got over it..;)

Yup, been there twice in the past! The painful one came from my 10" baby that I lost when the damn Titanium Heater stuck on "on" while I was at work.:(
The smaller one barely hurt he was around 6".;)

will they charge at your hand or you have to bump into them. i have dwarf but i never gave it much thought when my hand is in the tank.

They don't charge. They simply wait until you put your hand where it should not be.;) Keep your hands away from your lion fish, and you'll be fine.lol
