StingMaster is the first product ever available to the public that can reduce the pain caused by these stings. It was formulated to block the target of pain-causing toxins in lionfish venom, resulting in an ointment that specifically blocks pain caused by lionfish stings at its source.

\u201cWe\u2019ve been working on this product for years now, and we\u2019re overjoyed to be able to share it with the people who need it most \u2013 victims of lionfish and jellyfish stings,\u201d says Dr. Reza Sharif-Naeini, Associate Professor in the Department of Physiology at McGill University, and co-founder and President of PteroTech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This patented formula is also effective against jellyfish stings, making StingMaster an all-in-one solution for aquatic stings and the ultimate addition to any diving kit, beach bag or first aid kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe last thing you want when you\u2019re in the ocean is to be stung by a lionfish or jellyfish. These stings can ruin your day and sometimes even your week. StingMaster can allow people to regain control of their adventures even if they\u2019re stung by one of these critters,\u201d says Stephanie Mouchbahani-Constance, co-founder and CEO of PteroTech, and a PhD candidate in Dr. Sharif-Naeini\u2019s lab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
