10 years ago

Please do not swim at The Wave beach in muscat Oman!!!
Last week I was there for swimming with my wife. After I finished swimming before get out from water suddenly I felt i stepped on something and its immediately bite me.I was not sure what was that. A baby snake?,kind of fish?,crab??? I really dont know.Its the first time in my entire life that I've felt that much of pain. I came out from water my toe was bleeding like a hell and I Vomited straight away. Then I realized that it was not a normal bite. I poisoned by this unknown sea animal's bite. Immediately call my wife to help me to walk n take me to hospital. The poison was moving up from my feet to my leg. When we reached to clinic the doctor asked me this question straight away " is something bite you in sea?" I was shocked how he knews that. I said yes.. Don't worry!!! Since last week many people visited us with same problem. he said. Anyway They gave me 3-4 different injection to reduce my pain. It took more than half an hour and finally pain gone but my feet was swallow. I m still recovering thanks god.. It was very bad experience :) please be careful when you go to beach in Oman especially in The Wave. Oman sea is not save now days.
