Aspirin is probably a better idea then ibuprofen, thanks Farmer!
I think I will stay away from fish hooks and snare wire for now, I am not sure I want to eat the local fish <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> , and feral cats are very difficult to catch <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
A strong string wouldn't hurt though.
