It literally stabbed him in the heart, which seems to me like an unlikely way to die to a stingray, but I'm no stingrayologist, so take that with a grain of salt.

They hurt like a bad beesting. Lifeguards will put your foot into a bag of hot water (denatures the venom) and after a few minutes, you are fine

What if I get stabbed somewhere else? Do they still just put my foot in a bag of hot water?

Yes, even if your spouse gets stung, they put your foot in hot water.

Yes. You can put your dick in the hot water too if it gets stung

Few minutes? Nah it’s a proper wound. It’s fine after a couple days in 99% of cases. But you’re underselling it.
