It’s Shai’hulud of the Sea!

Are they certain it’s a boy? If not, “Barry” might give way to “Maggie” (Thatcher). No surrender, no retreat! That sting sounds like a miracle for people painfully dying of cancer. “Somewhere in Eden, now, a worm, a worm,” Rydra Wong.

I agree resoundingly with the idea to use this for TERMINALLY ill cancer patients. It might only be a local (though permanent) anegelisic, imply that others with chronic pain in local regions might benefit as well.

For example, it is known that those with leg amputations or such get a symptom known as “Amputated Limb Pain” or such. It’s due partially to the brain rewiring itself, and the old brain region interpreting that as “ghost pain” or such. Anyways, wonder if a person who got a permanent local anagelesic would suffer the same fate? If not, then that means that there is a difference between losing a limb and losing sensation. Perhaps the local anagelisic could be applied to the stump of a lost limb to counteract ghost pain?

On second thought, I just remembered that people with all limbs but paralysis exhibit ghost pain as well. So it follows that people once stung by the worm also experience ghost pain??? Bets are that chronic pain is still worse than intermittent ghost pain.

I never seen anything like it it was crazy! it layed an egg it one of the staffers leg and he said It lived in his leg for weeks he said he could feel it moving around sometimes ! yuck I feel sorry for him and he still has it in his leg

4′ long? Oh the humanity… I hate my life right now!

In reply to the person insisting this be used to treat cancer patients. Permanent numbness is rare and the localised only to about 3cm around the sting wound. The amount you would have to supply (intravenously may I add) to alleviate the pain of internal cancers, would kill the patient then and there.
