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

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

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.
