Basically i figure if i can think this clearly then i'm not really in pain and normally say 2 or 3 (most i've ever said is 5) but add the comment that if you want to give me pain killers i'll gladly take them.



As for he hot water thing the idea is that stone fish venom is a protein and most prteins will start to denature (lamens terms stop working) at the low 40's. Problem is you are also made of protein and will also denature (ie get burnt/scalded) i think about 50 odd degrees is what you want to be aiming for and no more than 55 otherwise you will burn yourself. Doen't quote me on these figures though.
