    I got nailed by a lionfish the other day at work and almost a scorpion fish (he swam at me) later that day so I know your pain. It'll go away eventually.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Cleanse wounds with warm water and soap, if not allergic, over the counter triple antibiotic cream to area. Watch for increased swelling, redness or pain to the area, and seek medical attention if any should occur.

    I got hit by mine last year. It hurt for a good 18 hours but eventually subsided. Give it a vinegar bath and be sure to disinfect with alcohol or hydrogen per oxide.
