Bluebottle, small jellyfish, medium sized crab (dunno what kind...they all look the same at the beaches here, they only get different further into the oceans and rivers here) I've stepped on an urchin, it was spiky but it didn't sting.
I've swam among stingrays and sharks, I mean...not great whites or anything, but generally the smaller variety will not attack you unless you fuck with them. My reaction to all stings/bites in this case was, knowing that I wasn't likely to be dying (you learn how to evaluate potential threat here) was more or less the under the breath "ffffffffuck", and to get out of the water and do what I could to fix it, I think I swung my hand and threw the crab in the water, as a child, I think the bluebottle was the one that made me cry...it was stuck between my arm and ribs...Although my understanding is if you're allergic to those, you wanna get outta the water and get help fast, apparently you can go into (?sp?) anaphylactic shock and your airways become obstructed. That's all I can tell you.

Thanks cheeb, and yes, you can go into ana..* shock from them sometimes. Luckily my P-MOW sting was on my knee area of my leg, so it wasn't serious, but i screamed for a good 5 minutes, haha.

Question- Does the incident have to have taken place on the beach or in water?
If so...mine did not.

I have been bitten by lots of stuff. I've been bitten by jellyfish all over my body. I'm not allergic, so it was only just a big annoyance. I've been bitten by blue crabs a lot, mainly because I was attempting to pull them out of the water and eat them. it hurts a little, and can easily break the skin, but it's nothing too serious, although shellfish make me nervous with their weird unheard-of diseases and viruses and whatnot.

I was stung by a jellyfish a few years back...it stung me on the ankle...it felt more like I was stabbed and then set on fire, but maybe it was just me.
I have never been bit by a shark, but in the summer of 1987 I saw a boy get bit in half Jaws style on the Oregon Coast in about 4 feet of water.
