I see a lot of people going about bare-footed in Perth. One of them was the former president of my student union.

Sigh... like I said, it's for info, and it's up to you whether you want to risk it or not.Originally posted by iveco:I see a lot of people going about bare-footed in Perth. One of them was the former president of my student union.
Just make sure that if something should happen, don't go kpkb and start suing the govt, Mother Nature, and the fishes in the sea!

Actually from what I see, the stone fish should be one suing because he is there, lying on the sand minding his business and someone steps on himOriginally posted by Rhonda:Sigh... like I said, it's for info, and it's up to you whether you want to risk it or not.

Who's talking about being morbidly scared?Originally posted by alwaysdisturbed:scared dis scared dat...

in fact...no where is safe... We're just discussing the dangers, to let folks know the potential dangers, and then whether they choose to take precautions or not is entirely up to them.
What's wrong with knowing the potential risks?

You are making it sounds like there shouldnt be anymore field camp training in the army....see, this is what happen when women dont go to army...Originally posted by Rhonda:Who's talking about being morbidly scared?

Everyone's idea of what's reasonable prevention is different, but knowledge is always far better than ignorance. What you want to do with the information is up to you.
I got away with sleeping barefoot outdoors for a few days...I probably won't do it again. As for the beach and the sea, a trick to avoid stepping on stonefish, rays and so on is to shuffle your feet (preferably covered) from side to side before you put your weight down on the sand. -
i wear safety boots.

Yes, I probably won't be able to survive a day in the army. So?Originally posted by Gazelle:You are making it sounds like there shouldnt be anymore field camp training in the army....see, this is what happen when women dont go to army...
Like I said before, and most other folks here seem to understand, this is information I thought was interesting and wanted to share and whether one decides to continue being reckless and carefree or decide to take precautions, is entirely one's call.
Why do you find it so hard to accept the fact that people have different opinions from you? -
Well, there are always irresponsible park usersOriginally posted by Rhonda:... on soil, grass, sand, or at the beach.
The recent thread here about a man getting stung by stonefish in Sentosa's lagoon is one good reason why you shouldn't walk barefoot by the beach.
On soil, grass and sand, you're not only prone to glass shards, sharp metal pieces and other sharp objects that could have been discarded, you're also exposing yourself to certain organisms that can pierce through your epithelial layer and wreck havoc inside you.
I've come across two cases recently where the men walked around barefoot on soil and one came down with Tetanus, the other, with a lesser-known virus that went into his system via a cut on his knee and is now causing multi-organ failure and an amputation.
If you have kids, or know folks who have kids, pass this info on to them. It's better to be safe than sorry!
