Diogenes Jul 2018 7:25pm, 19 Jul 2018 28,987 posts	0 Diogenes I once trod on a Weaver fish, hurt like buggery and made me feel quite unwell. The thing to do is to put your foot in water as hot as you can stand as soon as possible. The tide was out when I did it and I was helping my daughter into her wetsuit at the time. By the time I’d hobbled up the beach to find Mrs D, and she’s consulted first with the lifeguards, and then gone to the nearest cafe and returned with a plastic tub of warming water, it was a bit late. I did not put any dairy produce or preserves on it, although it was an old ice cream tub.
