People who have been "spurred" (rather than"stung") by a platypus report that the pain is strong enough to cause vomiting that may last for days, weeks or sometimes even months. Rest is the only cure. The pain cannot be relieved by morphine and other standard pain-killing drugs. It seems the only way it can be relieved is through anaesthesia of the main nerve from the spur site.
