Living in San Diego summer is stingray season. If you train or work or travel to ocean environments it is good to be aware of potential injuries that can occur. To prevent disturbing a stingray it is recommended to do the stingray shuffle. If they do sting you immersing the body part in hot water typically denatures the protein and stops the burn. Rarely, an xray will show a retained barb. Jellyfish, depending on the type and location, can be treated with removal of the tentacle and vinegar in certain instances. Other injuries and cuts and abrasions are at risk of pretty nasty infections due to the bacteria found in the ocean such as Vibrio. Be sure to use the appropriate broad spectrum antibiotics to cover all of the bad potential pathogens.
