I got stung by a torch this past weekend. I was placing a new torch in the garden. There is a small cut on the knuckle of my left thumb. I figured the salt was irratating it. When I looked down, I saw the torch next to me hand had a tentacle stuck right into my cut! It burnt like a **** for about 4 hours. The rest of the day it was pretty red. The next day the thumb was fine.
