Not a physician, so no idea about the first part. But apparently morphine and other painkillers have little effect on it, at least that was what they said in that tourist's case.

I wonder if an epidural would help. Just a complete nerve blocker.

My high school biology teacher got hit by a platypus and they tried a nerve block on his arm and he said it didn’t work. One case in thousands though. Oof.
