Just a piece of trivia. If your going to use piss as an antiseptic, it must be your own. Other people's wouldn't work. Why? I don't know. Ask a doctor.

My wife says the fish is called a bah saak (spelling?) - apparently quite a nasty beastie with several barbs on the needle.

That's definitely not correct. Urine is recommended by many doctors and specialists around the global as an effective 'first aid' for Jeely Stings (but not box jellies). In fact the correct recommendation is to use male urine preferably as it is more sterile.

You may be right Winkie. I was believing what I saw on the TV. It was mentioned in a science program on BBC prime a few months ago.
