FarmerTy Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 My first battle scars. Bristleworms got me. Right on the inside crease of the elbow. Burns like crazy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yikes! I'm still surprised I've never been stung by one for having accidentally touched them for a very long time now. Good thing you know someone in the medical field. Hope it heals quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Whoa! Nasty. I've never been stung either, although I'm sure I've touched plenty when digging through rocks and sand. I wonder if some people are more allergic than others when it comes to bristle worms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgautrea Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 WOW... I didn't know they would sting. Dang... GL with those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpb Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 It'll clear up. Felt like a jellyfish sting at the time. Burned like heck when I was scrubbing with iodine. No real allergic reaction or danger from the venom. My main concern is the fact that I'm in a very disease saturated environment for work every day and I worry about developing a staph infection Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasReef Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Looks painful, sorry about that. I am just wondering, how did it get you on the inside crease of your elbow? It seems like a strange place compared to fingers, hand or wrist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
