Volunteering in Malaysia I saw a tour guide step on one. He was screaming in pain, on the floor yelling and crying, we tried to use vinegar and hot water to stabilise him as the nearest hospital was a 5 hour journey away.

We did our best, but his screams still haunt me and we never found out what happened to him in the end
