What a shame. So sad. He will me sorely missed. He was a great conservationist and a heck of a lot of fun to watch.

RIP

had a good friend who every winter he would go down to costa rica ,el salvador to go surfing the whole winter.he would literly camp out and fish for his food only occasionaly going to the cantina for a beer.one day while fishing he stepped on a ray and it zapped him in the foot.he had no clue as to what to do and the nearest doctor was 8 hrs away through a mountainous terrain (seriously) this is hy so many people die in these type places from snake bites etc.. anyway he left to go in to town and took about 6 hrs and the doctor said his leg might come off but they carderized it instead over a bunsen burner.he neded up being ok but i saw the pictures and seriously made me ill.

he said he found out later whn going into the ocean where rays are abundent you HAVE to shuffle your steps a bit so not to step on these guys.

what he did wrong and what i believe steve irwin did as well was that you do more damage from pulling the barb out because it releases more toxins.
