"I ran out of the water to the lifeguard stand & got a bag of warm water to soak my foot in. I walked home in pain, showered & continued to soak my foot in a bucket of hot water for a couple of hours until the pain subsided. Now I know why they're called STINGrays and getting stung is no joke!!"
Lee Perkins, said he brushed against a stingray and felt its tail puncture him two weeks ago, leaving him with an injury that developed into an infection.A Bluespotted stingray swims in the Aquarium of the Pacific complex in Long Beach, California. A record number of stingray attacks were recorded at California's Huntington Beach.By Sunday, the water at Huntington beach had cooled and there were far fewer reports of stingray injuries.
However back in September, hundreds of people were stung there over Labor Day weekend—more than three times the number cases of the previous year,Josh Raymond, a California State Parks lifeguard, described the beach as the natural habitat of the creature which was attracted to the increasing water temperatures.
Lifeguards advise people to slide slide your feet when you are in the water to warn the animals of your approach."It's just where they live and that's where they are and if you step on one, they're gonna kind of lash back and say, 'Hey get out of here,'" Lifeguards treat stings by putting the victims' foot in a bag of hot water to help break up the toxin."We've been dealing with this increase now three to four years. We started using the bags so we could treat people and not have to put them in the rooms, which have gotten too cramped."
