Venomous marine animals can be dangerous to swimmers, divers, and fishers. Most marine
envenomations are not severe, and victims may delay seeking emergency care. These mild
envenomations include weever fish, lionfish, starfish, and coral abrasions. Also, severe
envenomation from stonefish, stingray, blue-ringed octopus, cone snail, and box jellyfish
(Irukandji) can be life-threatening. Rapid treatment in these cases can increase survival
rates and minimize systemic (anaphylaxis) and local complications (allergic response,
infections, pain) by venoms.
