@doctorsood: Have you ever seen a stonefish or stepped on something you couldn’t identify? Stonefish are among the most venomous fish in the ocean. They live in shallow tropical waters and camouflage as rocks or reef debris, making them difficult to see. When stepped on, their dorsal spines inject venom that can cause immediate, severe pain, swelling, and tissue damage. First aid includes seeking emergency care and immersing the affected area in hot water, which can help reduce venom activity and relieve pain.

Saw one in Hawaii, didn’t know what it was at the time. Spent (in retrospect) an ALARMING amount of time right by it, trying to get it to move so I could get a better look. It didn’t move and I left. I got hella lucky.

I remember learning about stone fish and being terrified of stepping on rocks in water…in Alaska 🤣 took a couple years to learn we don’t have rockfish and to be fair I was like six or seven and I read it in a book (taught myself to read)

I stepped on a stonefish 20 years ago and it’s still 5x the most pain I’ve ever felt in my life.
