Abstract EN

Lionfish envenomation can cause erythema, edema, necrosis, and severe pain at the exposed site.

Treatment often includes supportive wound care, pain management, and hot water immersion.

We report a case of lionfish exposure presenting to an inland emergency department treated successfully with these measures.
