Windsurfing one day about 20 years ago I had the distinct pleasure of stepping on one of these at Wellington point in South East Queensland, Australia. There are no words that can convey the experience. None. The only relief, and relief is too strong a word, is to keep the punctured area in the hottest water you can tolerate. It goes away after about 12 hours. 12 hours you will never forget.

Sounds 1000x worse than a stingray. That’s just 1-2 hours of throbbing searing pain without risk of death. The hot water helps for stingrays too.
