I have never heard of Asp Venom Killing anything. Though I know someone who left his glove on his porch and crammed his hand into it the next morning and an Asp had decieded to bed down in the thump cavity.

Very nasty looking wound site! His hand look cartoonish from the swelling.

This is how he described the Pain;
He is/was a greenhorn city slicker first time country home owner and prior to this incident he had decied to do some gardening in shorts, around his new home in the country. He was kneeling on the ground and took about 30 Fire Ant Stings! He said the Asp was more painful.

I suppose an Asp sting could put someone into an anaphlaxsis state. It all depends on there immunity process. I know someone who was rushed to the ER after 6 Fire Ant stings.

But, A Man O War has killed people, and if I'm not mistaken, it will also leave perminate scarring at the wound site!

Me and Waldo was fishing one time and he got stung by a jelly fish on the face. We had nothing to put on it so I had to pee on his face, the only problem with that was he kept sticking his tounge out and was peeking with one eye. Then he said it was my turn to get stung. I told him "homie don't play that". He did not like that game.

A Friends episode comes to mind...

Joey: That's right, I stepped up! She's my friend and she needed help! If I had too, I'd pee on any one of you!

My mom was born and raised in CC and was tomboy until 18 or so. I asked her yesterday if she'd ever been nailed by an asp and she said once, and that it hurt like hell and lasted for a while, BUT......................... she also told me that she'd never been stung by a man o war.....................

Stingray trumps the Man-o-war. Ever cried and laughed uncontrollably for an hour? Bad news.
From my experience, I get hit by Man-o's on the beach, where my vehicle is and my first-aid kit is, therefore that's easier to treat immediately.
My experience getting hit while wading is there is no relief unless I wade all the way back to the vehicle... The pain might not be as bad, but the waiting for treatment is worse.

Nobody's arguing the point about stingrays, that speaks for itself! The subject was jellyfish stings and somehow the asp got drug into this...........

It all leaves me wondering on whether it's possible to get a "partial" or low percentage asp sting as it easily is with any jellyfish or similar critter. An asp has a very small surface area when we're speaking of the area that does the damage. Something like a man o war has an unreal amount of tentacle length and potential stinging power. Having a short section of tentacle rub by you or even having one wrap around you is bad enough, but not the "bells and whistles" event that it easily can be, and what I'm speaking of here. I would wager from my own experience that 95% of jellyfish and/or man o war stings fall into this category (not the REAL thing!), so those involved have no real concept of what I'm talking about when it comes to pain and agony......................
