I removed a large worm on Tuesday night . The worm must have known he was going for a long walk on a short pier and decided to leave a few hairs on my hand. Not sore just irritating . Anyone had this before and how long does it take to go away and any ideas of a remedy

Its supposed to go away in a few days.

Here you go found this :

Bristleworm Sting Treatment

Treatment for a bristleworm bite or sting includes the following:

* Apply topical acetic acid (vinegar) or isopropyl alcohol.

*

* Remove bristles with tweezers or adhesive tape.

*

* If severe inflammation and a continual burning sensation develop, apply hydrocortisone cream 3 times per day.

*

* If signs of infection are present, such as pus, redness, or heat, apply topical antibiotic ointment.

*

* Oral antibiotics are usually recommended to prevent infection. If infection develops, continue antibiotics for at least 5 days after all signs of infection have cleared. Check for drug allergy prior to starting any antibiotic. A doctor will recommend the right antibiotic. Some antibiotics can cause sensitivity to the sun, so use a sunscreen (at least SPF 15).

*

* Pain may be relieved with 1-2 acetaminophen (Tylenol) every 4 hours and/or 1-2 ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) every 6-8 hours.

I wouldnt worry about all that stuff though, this is obviously for really serious stings. Vinegar sounds like the thing to use.
