Default Stingray toxin

The toxins associated with stingrays are proteins. Heat breaks down proteins and thus the toxins. The only treatment is to soak the area in as hot of water as you can tolerate (but not so hot as to cause burns). And of course, applying topical antibiotics should reduce the chance of infection after you're done soaking.

Hope that's of some help
