Coral. . .ouch. Personal experience says it scratches and gets infected. .
.no problem with blood clotting though. I wonder if there's a really good
way to reduce the likelihood of infection, other than wearing gloves and
wading shoes. . .
I've never seen a jellyfish sting bleed. . .just turn into welts. Had to
take one out of the heat exchanger of a diesel engine once. . .that was a
bad deal for both of us, but I'm still here!

I'm still wishing somebody will tell me what size of bearings and seals I
need for my 1981 Dilly so I can buy them in town before I go home for the
weekend. . .

I've noticed that there's certain types of fresh water aquatic life that can

prevent blood from clotting, such as the leech. Are there any saltwater
creatures that can do the same - coral, jellyfish etc? How would one treat a

wound from such an animal? Vitamin K pills/ injections?
