I have been hit on the side of my right foot.. BARELY a slice to my foot less than an inch long and not deep.
I thought i was going to die... I had a reaction and couldn't breath and was in massive pain.

Also.... the pain and tenderness of it was there for a loooooooonggg time after I walked with a slight favored limp for about a month.
When i tell you that you do not want to get hit i mean it.

Shuffle your feet when in water... OR wear shoes... and react fast when you feel the ground /sand move below your foot.

They are no joke.

Listen... if you ever get hit... seek medical immediately.

Also... IF you get the barb IN YOU... this is worse.... and do not even think about attempt to remove.
Poison dumps and the bacteria is off the charts,
It must be removed through surgery only.

People take rays as a joke and for granted.
Until you get hit.

A Vietnamese refugee who lived with us said his mother whipped him with a ray tail.
Seemed foreign to me , not having ray tails common in the midwest. Or that ambitiously harsh a mother.

Locked in cages and whipped with toxic stingray tails: The Burmese slaves forced to catch fish that ends up in supermarkets, restaurants and pet shops across America

Burmese men are being kept in cages on a tiny Indonesian island and forced to fish - or risk being kicked, beaten and whipped with stingray tails.

Its not the tail... its whats UNDER the rays ass end / tail you gotta worry about... the barb... and only the barb.

Ray skin is WAY tougher than leather or anything for that matter.

It is what is used on the handles of samurai swords... contrary to what you hear about it being shark... it's not.... its ray.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 PM EDT Sat Aug 26 2023

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on recently
upgraded Hurricane Franklin, located several hundred miles south of
Bermuda.

1. Northwestern Caribbean Sea and Eastern Gulf of Mexico (AL93):
Showers and thunderstorms associated with an area of low pressure
located near the Yucatan Channel continue to gradually become
better organized. If this trend continues, advisories will be
initiated on this system later today. The system is expected to
move very slowly northward into the southeastern Gulf of Mexico
during the next couple of days. Heavy rains are likely over
portions of western Cuba and the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico.
Interests in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, western Cuba, and
Florida should monitor the progress of this system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...90 percent.

2. Central Tropical Atlantic (AL92):
Disorganized showers and thunderstorms continue in association with
a broad area of low pressure located about 1000 miles
east-northeast of the northern Leeward Islands. This system has
not become better organized since yesterday, and development is
becoming less likely while it moves generally northwestward over
the central subtropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.

3. Eastern Tropical Atlantic:
A tropical wave is forecast to move off the west coast of Africa
early next week. Some slow development of this system is possible
during the latter part of next week while the system moves westward
across the eastern tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.

I knew a guy who got a barb embedded in his heal...

He walks with a cane to this day.

I pulled this out of my achilles tendon right above my right heal. Probably around 1986 or so night fishing on the north jetty at Sebastian Inlet. Some idiot landed a big stingray and just left it on the jetty. I was walking backward fighting a massive redfish & trying to get down to the beach to land it. Stepped right on the big ray & paid the price. It felt like someone was using a blowtorch on the back of my leg.
