Getting poked by shrimp puts fishing guide in hospital

Please read. This could happen to any of us that handle live bait and get stuck by a shrimp or fish fin. I know I couldn't tell you how many times I've been stuck by both.

Thanks for the info. You are right, this could happen to any of us. It is good to get a reminder occasionally.

Thanks for the information. Sounds like a small spray bottle of 75/25 water / bleach would be worth keeping in the boat.

I picked up a bottle of Betadine from Walgreens yesterday and made up a bottle of bleach/water mixture. Added to my onboard first aid kit.

Here's the relevant part worth noting: "There are two things you can have on a boat that will aid in case something like this happens," he said. "One is a pump sprayer with a solution of bleach and water -- not so much bleach that it gives you a chemical burn, but enough to kill anything, and the other is a bottle of Betadine." Either can be applied to the wound, and can help ensure it never gets infected in the first place, Pellegrin said.
