On holiday a few years ago, my grandson stood on a sea anemone. Had to get 13 spine things removed, I was glad I had these beach shoe things

Ooooo nasty! I bet that was painful Carolg. I won't walk on a beach or go in the sea without wearing my beach shoes.

He was really brave, but had to get them cut out
 
I used to spend 3 days a week in the North sea. Wet suit boots on & I really think the Salt water did me good. When I get my feet checked I just about jump out of the chair when the tickling stick gets used :D:D:D😉
 
Well sorry if you don't like it, and I don't know anyone that's tried it, but when you get sea urchin spines in your feet, it is said that pissing on it makes em a lot easier to remove.

It is possible though because of the double action of heat and urea, the latter being very good at keeping the skin soft, can help eczema heal etc..
 
He was only 13 so I think that would have been too yuk for him

I love walking barefoot, so am afraid ignore the advice at the mo. I don't seem to have any trouble healing (been cut open enough in the last couple of years) and have great feeling in my feet, so am going to continue while I can.

I love walking barefoot too, nothing better than feeling the dew on the grass in the morning or sand under my feet on the way to the sea. I have no trouble healing and like @stephknits have great feeling. So for now will walk barefoot very happily.

Unless you've got poor circulation or can't even see your feet 🙄 then I can't see a problem wandering on the beach and into the sea barefoot. When I went to see the nurse once to have my foot check she said who cuts your toenails? I thought what!?!?! Who did she think cut them? Yeah I just ring a bell and call one of my servants to do it. 🙄 Of course told her I cut 'em myself.

My first consultant told me to never cut my toe nails again, it was four weeks post diagnose, she didn't explain why and I thought she was a bit crazy!

I got married in the Seychelles. The sea was hot & the sand was too hot to walk on. The sea was like bath water temp. In heaven, tis good at times 😉
 
Well two friends have just renewed their marriage vows - so make that a plan Hobie!
