Default mystery sting
My wife was working in our tank and she got stung by something. She found tiny white hairlike thorns in her hand. My guess is a bristleworm. Anyone else have any ideas? Nothing I stocked would do that...

Yeah, she says that picture looks like what she had. She used tape and soaked her finger in some vodka. Seems to be better now.

Although vodka can pretty much fix anything, vinegar is the best thing in this case. The spines are primarily calcium carbonate, and any little bits left will break down in the vinegar quite quickly.
