[QUOTE="MrImpact, post: 529524, member: 17204"] Hi, new member here. Saw the post about bites and thought I could help. Ive been bitten by a white tip recently, a red back a couple of years ago(unconfirmed visual bite) and many other things when I was working the prawn fields of the QLD East coast for years. CRC or WD40 is the only sting remedy I have ever used and it has never failed me. Im not sure whether its the fish oil, the odd solvent, the dispersant or all of the above, but it works every time. My skipper many years ago was stung by a Goulie(soft stone fish looking critter), and he was knocked out for 40 hours. I too was stung, but generously sprayed CRC to the bite twice, ten minutes or so apart, and had no pain after 15 minutes and I was able to keep the boat on track and the products sorted and frozen while my skipper caught up on some nap time. I know its not a perfect guide, but Ive used both products very successfully on land and sea, and not just to stop the bed squeaking. We carry a can in each vehicle wherever we go and even on bee stings, its a blessing to stop the whining kids when they get a love tap from some unknown friendly. Cheers, happy new Year.
