by sea anemones. :/

Of all things! Bastards

Went to the FL Keys this weekend (have a few weeks off school)and apparently inadvertently rubbed up against a bunch. My g-ma said they're small and in the rocks and I may not have realized I even touched them.
Took almost 24 hours for the hives to appear. I really had no idea.
Now I have these gnarly ass hives/rash all over my arms and hands...on the back of my leg where my butt cheek starts...even a little on my neck and chin.

So obviously the only logical solution is to promptly begin a sea anemone hate thread.

I hope there are none on the old bush.
I know I would not fuck something that looks like that.
hope you heal up soon could be a long dry spell for you.

Lol thanks for your concern?...but all is clear down there.
Those types of parts don't generally brush up against rocks while swimming................

Ok maybe in your case? Idk

"For fire coral, jellyfish or sea anemone stings, liberally soak the rash with a 5% acetic acid (vinegar) to relieve the stinging. Vinegar is commonly recommended. Apply the vinegar for 30 minutes or until the pain is gone. Ice or cold compresses after treatment may help to relieve swelling and itching."

"Do not rub affected areas as more venom will be released, remove swimming clothes, soap and scrub skin vigorously, antihistamine, hydrocortisone cream, ice pack to relieve pain"

Ouch. It happened to me when I was a boy.
We were in Central America and i remember the pain....and when they took me out of the water that sun hit the stung area on my inner calf and the pain like tripled.
hahaha...which reminds me, i havent looked at that scar in years. Its still there hahaha. it looks like it moved a bit.

Im not sure what they put on it, maybe aloe vera, i really dont remember. sorry.
But google will probably help you with treatments.

Well hope u feel better Briana.

Went to the clinic over the weekend.

I had stings AND bites of some kind...several different things going on apparently. Also a secondary allergic reaction to something.

The Doc basically said I got royally fuckeddd up (no lube) and should probably invest in some protective clothing next time. Lol

Going back for Labor day! Cause I'm a baller and idgaf about those triflin' ass anemones or jellyfish or whatever else down there that wants to try and ruin my fun. 🙂

I'm taking Prednisone and shit. All is good. The hives have virtually disappeared...just have a little weird blotchy bruise looking things now

Thanks 🙂

Yeah this steroid he has me on is making me so restless though. Can't sleep well. But I'm almost off it

Also had a really strange reaction to sex too...have no clue if it is related to the medication or not? :/
Don't really feel like getting graphic. DXP IS NOT THE PLACE.

So, went down again, for lobster season... This time I went prepared.
Got a full motherfucking bodysuit to wear. BRING IT ON BITCHES

The only place on my body not covered while in the water were my hands and my face...and actually with the mask and shit there was only actually about a 2-inch section of my forehead uncovered.

I'll be fucked if something didn't sting me ON MY FOREHEAD

I don't understand....I grew up in the ocean. I was at the beach up to 4 times a week for much of my life and never had a problem getting stung by anything.

Lately I'm like allergic to the sea. I get fucked up by everything
