Lifeguards along the North County coast are warning beachgoers Monday to be on the lookout for stingrays after 347 people got whipped by the barb-tailed creatures at San Onofre Surf beach. Ranger Hal Dairywimple said a weak swell and small waves made it easy for the rays to get into the surfline, and the number of people stung Sunday was many times the number of encounters on a normal summer day. He said the bottom was carpeted with the things. "It's almost impossible not to step on at least one"! "They love the red tide" said Dr Ralph of the Dana Point Stingray institute. Lifeguards recommend pouring cool water and urine over the wound to ease the pain and seeking medical help if the barb becomes lodged in the flesh.

Where can we buy the Urine for the StingRay wounds?
Dear Talega Bob, I'm sure any local down at SanO would be more than happy to Piss on you if you happen to get stung.
