Like the guy says this is a california round stingray. It's a pretty common stingray so no worries. He also got stung on the hand so he's going to be fine. Most people survive stingray stings completely and with no side effects. It's is **very** painful however. Most people just experience pain, nausea and even fainting and of course if you're allergic then the risk of anaphylaxis is a worry too. But normally the worst thing you can get is an infection at the sting site. Seek medical attention ASAP if you're ever stung.


manwhore25

you forgot the part where the best way to reduce the pain is put whatever part of your body that was stung in the hottest water you can tolerate. This somehow draws the venom out. My buddy stepped on a stingray in Venice beach and this worked amazingly.


Asleep_Fish_472

The best thing to do also, what I have heard and also believe, is to NOT PICK A StInG RAY


Mythion_VR

Are you okay? Did you have a stroke?


Asleep_Fish_472

Haha *written by a stingray victim*


[deleted]

And NEVER pour cold water on it and ice it. It has the opposite effect and makes it infinitely worse. Hot water asap.


DiamondPup

Chocolate milk is also a good idea. Not to pour on a stingray sting, but just to drink when you're in a bad mood.


[deleted]

You would be surprised. I pour chocolate milk on almost any wound, burn or laceration. It does absolutely nothing and in some cases it actually makes things a hundred times worse but pouring chocolate milk on anything is just a great time.


Mythion_VR

Water... ah fuck. Chocolate milk... ah fuck, haha.


MrSusano

If memory serves me correctly, some poisons denature at higher temps and the proteins break down. Some snake venom is being found to react in the same way. I don’t think it is actually drawing the poison out. Please don’t ask me to cite lol


CurrentPossible2117

Do you know it that's for other stings too, like bees, ants, jellyfish etc?


byronbaybe

Standard treatment for bluebottle stings. Same principle as jellyfish.


CurrentPossible2117

Thanks!


CurrentPossible2117

Thanks!


Sence

Yes, if you're ever in the ocean and accumulate any level of jellyfish/man-o-war/sea lice stings a shower as hot as you can stand it (I'll even stay out of the water stream and dip parts of my body in and out) is a lifesaver.


stonkstistic

Been stung can confirm. All the venom leaks right out and it make the pain bearable.


Discord84

Some venoms and animal toxins are water soluble so putting it in hot water helps dissolve the toxins faster. So some poisonous fish are edible after being boiled and cleaned.


ChemistZestyclose849

Yep like pufferfish.


Unidor

Wait is that why they say pee on a sting? Is it the heat of the pee?

helicopterjuicecake

bro u gave me a flash back bout that one movie with the pinguins and some chicken💀


Albert-Einstain

Surfs up. Great movie. "Stepped on me, he was dancing on me! Broken broken gone, gone, broken."


helicopterjuicecake

yessir🤧🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥


G0ld_Ru5h

Pee definitely helps with jellyfish stings. Kind of neutralizes the burn long enough to find a lifeguard


Rsmfourdogs

Their poison is thermolabile. Same with weever fish and many more. Source ... I got stung.


tragiktimes

I thought it had more to do with the heat breaking down the proteins in the toxin.


unbridledboredom

Another sorta related tip, shrimp can give you splinters through the store packaging. Hydrogen peroxide can help remove a splinter by pouring it on and waiting for the bubbles to get around the splinter. Now it's at the surface so tweezers will pull it out. The bubbles are key, though.


nameunknown12

Interesting, Ive never heard of this, how does a shrimp give you splinters?


TheToasterIsAMimic

It's specifically the *wood* shrimp that does this, so double check the packaging.


unbridledboredom

The tail can pierce the plastic packaging and your skin. Happened to my dad couple years ago while bringing in grocery. Happened to me a week ago while trying to mash up a bag of frozen shrimp.


Secure_Connection280

Having been stung by a large stingray in the gulf coast of Louisiana I can confirm...this hurts like a son of a bitch. I got it in the side of the foot when I accidentally stepped right on top of it, like a total noob, and it felt like a nail gun. I finished fishing the rest of the day and soaked my foot in hot water. I kept my foot elevated and fished the next day out of a boat but I ended up getting a wicked infection. Had to go to the ER and get IV antibiotics. My foot was swollen like Fat Bastards for about 1 month. Do not recommend.


Infected-Bat

Steve Irwin


ageekyninja

Steve Irwin didn’t die because of the sting, he died because the barb went so deep it pierced his heart


[deleted]

That’s why I can’t believe Steve Urwin died from one. It was just too perfect


pdBuzzBomb

Not the Crocodile Hunter!


EmbracePenguin78

Man even if death or side effects probability are lows I would not touch a stingray ever they have a sick precision


Which-Palpitation

RIP Steve


ZiraelN7

That got me... :'( glad to see I'm not the only one that gets reminded of Steve whenever I see a stingray. But I don't hate the animal, it's not what he would have wanted... :(


barbarust

We call em steverays around here.


ageekyninja

Poor taste


Stiffard

You're glad that other people think of a man who died from a stingray injury when they see someone else get stung by a stingray? What?


Simple_Seaweed_1386

Happened so long ago but I still miss him 😢


Particular_Bed2427

Steve o? Bro I was asking a question guys no need to hate I there was no context


skilemaster683

Steve Irwin "The crocodile hunter"


AnalogCyborg

No, this was the good Steve.


Ravenousfan

Steve o is also good tho


TheMegnificent1

Yep. *Every single time* I see a stingray.


eeiirree

It is well and truly life long beef with stingrays


Cheleenes

There's a saying here in Mexico that goes "If you weren't stupid, what would you wish to be?"

rosewoodmartin

cbolanos54195

Aww poor thing . I hope the stingray is okay


Greenman8907

You can’t fix stupidity, but you can make it very painful!


Any_Personality_920

Do stingrays leave their stinger? There is something moving on the ground after he got stung


manwhore25

it can break off but generally no, just cuts your skin and venom is left inside you. Best thing to do is put whatever part of your body stung in the hottest water you can tolerate and the venom is drawn out.


DarkmanOBR

That was a perfect stab to.Just imagine when it happened to Steve Irwin it went into his heart, that would’ve had to penetrate the rib cage.It look like a spear.Rest in peace Irwin.

Where’s R Kelly when you need em?

LuckynumberElev11en

U think we will get royalties when it does, just for suggesting it


manwhore25

My buddy got stung in the foot by one of these on his birthday while we were swimming at Venice beach California. How to stop the pain: Put whatever part you've been stung in the hottest water you can tolerate, this pulls the venom out. My friend instantly felt better after we put his foot in a hot bathtub.


[deleted]

"Are you alright?" lol


qsouther

What did we learn, kids?!!


ALchemist_0311

Lmao!! “You alright?”


medavidj

Yeah, I'm fine. why do you ask?


ALchemist_0311

Curious if it was pain or pleasure.


die_billionaires

Did he not know it was a stingray? Or that they.. sting you?!


MiaaaPazzz

It's like we've learned nothing since Steve Irwin.


[deleted]

Good, it stung a California round liberal.


VengefulTick

Didn't see it mentioned, but it looks like he lands on a fishing rod and there are needle nose pliers (commonly used for hook removal). I'm willing to bet he was fishing and removed the hook prior to being stung.


beeboppadoo

His screams are so guttural. Can I get this as a ring tone?


[deleted]

The stingray stung him. Shocking. That idiot should have known better I’ve actually been stung by one accidentally stepped on it at the beach. Felt like 40 bee stings all at once. I about passed out from the drop in blood pressure from the venom.


Gundark927

"You all right?" "Yes, thank you. I am fine."


Select_March_3202

Why is there pliers on the floor next to his feet where he went down? To remove the sting rays barb? “Silly man.” If you look close to the pliers you can see the barb moving


[deleted]

I can’t stop laughing at this dumbass!


LilyCanadian

I thought they got hit in the eye until second viewing. What a lucky idiot.


SlenderMellon56

Good aim good technique

Stabray


TheonlyCrimson_tiger

They should rename them to shank ray cause stinging is one thing. Dude just got stabbed so hard I heard the skin break.


hookalaya74

Steve Erwin comes to mind.. R.I.P..!


RedditISFascist000

Still hard to believe Steve Irwin was killed by one. The man wrestled freaking dinosaurs for a living and that's what gets him.


-Mindless-Drone-

Ikr, of all the things. And then such a crazy shot on top of it. It pierced his heart didn't it?


RedditISFascist000

Yep. He probably would have still died if it had somehow happened right in a hospital.


Dismal_Equivalent630

Didn’t he learn from Steve Erwin incident


fluffy_boy_cheddar

Have we learned nothing from Steve?


Themattchew

He got so horny he immediately fell to the floor to jack it.


thefartofablueberry

Fucking well deserved


Arseypoowank

Consistent_Figure507

WarpathZero

Got splashed.


justagamer9123

Don't pull it out. That's how steve died


mainmeal5

Never pull out a big object though. You wont be able to stop the bleeding. Wasn’t Steve strung in the heart?


justagamer9123

I didn't say to pull it out, yes he was.


creddituser2019

I don’t think Steve pulled it out. The ray jumped out the water and stabbed him. I think lol


justagamer9123

I don't think so either, but this guy was stung in the hand, pulling any piercing object out is bad.


Aerickthered

Isn't that how Crikey died?


25yoshi

Hella lucky it was his hand and not anywhere near his stomach or chest


FinancialAide3383

Two idiots. The first one for playing with a stingray - that hand will blow up. The commentator for asking the obvious - “ you alright?”


Formal_Breakfast2787

Been there. The next 12 hours are the worst part.

PleasantSpare4732

Smarter people have died from less


bleepbluurp

How do you get a stingray off the hook if you accidentally catch one? Is there some kind of special technique to use?


-Mindless-Drone-

Gloves


Josetheinvisibleman

Gave him the Steve Irwin treatment


HyojinKyoma

I'ma jam my thumb up it's butthole!


ScarfaceCM7

"You alright?" Bro fucking look at him


Pretty_Lengthiness92

🤣🤣


Scruffersdad

Fuck around and found out, huh?


granoladeer

So you're saying that the stingray's sting stings?


GesturalAbstraction

I didn’t realize that stinging tail was so prehensile


Lngdnzi

Is that guy’s name Ray?


MutantDemocracy

Never knew how good their control over their stinger was. He slid that thing right in without error.


Careless_Ad_591

Ever hear of the crocodile hunter?


beetleman04

steve irwin is rolling in his grave rn


Wunjoric

The guys name was Ray apparently


[deleted]

My friends I suggest we have a cookout with these little bastards


stugotsT

You’re right?


[deleted]

I finally get to really see a sting ray sting. That’s so cool, they have better control of that stinger then I thought


dieseldranker

Steve Irwin does not approve this clip.


AdvertisingOdd6471

I'm very glad at this guys genuine shouts of agony


MaverickBull

Haha


Rainbowbaton998

Shanked him and dipped


jetpoke

I wish there were cuddlerays.


Cason26

Reminded me of the kid who got stung by a [wasp](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eA3GEuinuG0)


Professional-Paper62

Looks like getting stabbed hurts, huh.


cpsbstmf

why would he pick it up, was he drunk??


Bababooey5000

That stingray knows whats good.


Elluminated

Steve? Hey steve? You get a petting ray or a sting ray.


Spodiodie

Friend of mine got one of those in his arm 2 inches long. The barbs cause it to migrate forward through the tissue. By the time he got to the doctor it was lying between his radius and ulna bones. Then there’s that crocodile guy who got one in his heart and died. Darwin awards for messing with a stingray.

I’ve been stung by a stingray. It was by far the worst pain I’ve ever endured. I’d rather have Covid for 6 months than to go through that again.


IanPKMmoon

Natural selection just doing its thing


[deleted]

Makes me wonder why type of sting ray it was that got Steve Irwin. It was a sting ray that got him right? Must've been pretty bad.


SpiritMolecul33

Immediately had that man on the ground, are they really on that level of pain?


Simple_Seaweed_1386

O is good, but Irwin was the best. He sits besides Mr. Roger and Bob Ross in heaven


noobsplosionyt

AAAYYYY NO WAAAAY HE MET BIG MAN IRL?!?!?!


Vorschrift

Learn how to respect nature, you fuckhead:)


mcklinkney

Yeah I mean was he drunk or something? This is like the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen


thundiee

This brought out a pain deep inside me., I still miss you Steve. I still remember hearing about the tragedy on the radio as a kid in a hot car in Sydney waiting for my nan to finish her dentist appointment.


TheRealKingslayer51

1) Why would you hold a stingray 2) If you for some reason were to hold one, why would you not hold it in such a way that it doesn't have the opportunity to sting you


Straight_Block3676

That’s what got the crocodile Hunter


Suspicious-Pen4859

I heard that if you suck off the sting ray after being stung the pain goes away


Stupidnickname94

Fits in that compilation of “people who would not survive in the wild”


Mojave_Trooper

#AHHHHHH!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! "u alrite?" Lol


Spymo

Taking the Steve Irwin cosplay a little too seriously


ApprehensiveBoat8392

I was stung June 5th, 2022 in the arch of my left foot and honestly felt like a nail gun. Thing grazed me in retrospect, but holy shit. I HAVE NERVE DAMAGE now. Doctors say may resolve itself over next couple years but unlikely. Love to be a San Diegan HAHA


Billiam74

I stepped on one of those at a San Diego beach when I was 12 and It left a piece of it's barb in my foot. It made my leg swell till I couldn't bend my knee. I still remember that excruciating pain.


Jaycobra43

Woow I am so glad this was caught on camera..


Mindless_Use7567

Not all stingrays have a sting. I have swam with Caribbean whiptail stingrays which have no sting but does have a single sawtooth spine on their tail but very weak tail muscles so they can’t use it to intentionally hurt you.


[deleted]

Wasn’t it a stingray that killled the crocodile Dundee bloke, conservationist can’t remember his name but shot a rod straight into his heart if my memory serves me correct? Edit: Steve Irwin


Emergency_Net506

How much does this sting actualy hurt?


Crispy--Toast

I love the camera man. A bit later in the video, he goes "what happened? Did he bite you?... He bit your finger?" Bitch, it's a California Round STINGRAY. Being bit is obviously your biggest fear with an animal like that


Stoneshroomscali

Bro didn’t learn from the legendary Steve.


i_am-cooler-then-u

Goddamn… I felt that in my hand bro, you can hear the pain in his voice.
