Piss on it
If you don't have ready access to very hot water, piss on the wound. Its the next best thing to do.

Flathead?
Flathead sting isn't on the same pain scale as gurnards, cobblers and happy moments.
They certainly let you know what pain is all about.
Flathead, stingrays etc all make you bleed like there's no tomorrow though, must be something to do with the slime on the spine.

If a flat head gets you best
If a flat head gets you best thing for it is to rub it's belly on the area, takes away pain & stop bleeding a lot quicker

The older you get the more you realize that no one has a f++king clue what they're doing.
Everyone's just winging it.
