As more Americans travel in greater numbers in search of exotic destinations, they may encounter dangerous marine life that hide in reefs and shallow marine waters. In this case report, we describe a case of stonefish envenomation and provide a review of the literature on management and prevention.

Every year, more than 1 million cases of scorpion envenomation are reported worldwide. Although the resultant mortality is lower than that from snake envenomation, there is substantial morbidity and, among children, a risk of death. Almost all systemic scorpion envenomation causes pain at the site of the sting.

[Extract] As emergency physicians who currently or recently have worked in emergency departments in tropical Australia, we must compliment the Editors on their recent series on tropical emergency medicine in the December 2000 edition. They discussed clinical issues that may be seen rarely in caital cities in Australia but are common problems to ...

Pediatrics, 1980
A potentially lethal neurotoxin-producing scorpion, Centruroides sculpturatus, exists in the southwestern United States. The most common symptoms of envenomation of 24 patients included local pain, restlessness, and roving eye movements. In this series 80% of cases were in children less than 10 years of age.

Southern Medical Journal, 1986
We treated 18 patients who had Crotalidae envenomation between January 1980 and September 1984. Primary antivenin therapy minimized morbidity and obviated mortality. More specificially, judicious though quantitatively sufficient antivenin therapy made surgical intervention unnecessary.

Medical Journal of Australia, 1989
Over a 12-year period, 61 patients were admitted to a metropolitan hospital on 67 occasions with envenomation from snakes, spiders, ticks or bees. We describe the epidemiology of the bites and the patient's response to treatment. First aid was used in only 50% of patients with potentially-lethal bites.

The Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2002
Lionfish (Pterois volitans) are venomous fish most often found as aquarium pets throughout the United States. Lionfish envenomations frequently occur on the upper extremities, with pain as the predominant symptom. Immersing the injured part in warm (45 degrees C) water is considered the first and foremost important treatment as it is reported to ...

Current Sports Medicine Reports, 2014
Envenomation by reptiles, spiders, and insects are a common worldwide occurrence. Tens of thousands of bites occur each year, with most victims seeking treatment in emergency rooms. Many envenomations, however, occur in environments where athletes train and compete. As a result, sports physicians may find themselves on the front lines of treating bites

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1987
Correct and immediate care can significantly reduce the debilitating effects of Scorpaenidae evenomation. The lack of immediate heat application to the wound in our case report may have contributed to the complications and eventual loss of motion in the affected area, since the toxic ingredient, a nondialyzable protein, remained active.
