Jim Hall I was stung by a Weever on Porth Ceriad beach near Abersoch in North Wales. The treatment was immersion in a large bowl of hot water - this got rid of the terrible pain , although the site of the sting is still a bit sore . Regards Martin Evans. Carducci M, Mussi A, Leone G, Catricala C. Raynaud's phenomenon secondary to Weever fish stings. Rarely, systemic symptoms occur, including hypotension and depressed respirations.
Death is possible, but extremely rare.
The authors noted Raynaud's phenomenon only on the affected finger occurring some weeks after the weever fish sting. A rare complication - We should see if it occurs after jellyfish stings. The pain responded to hot water treatment subsiding not immediately but after 20 minutes. However, the wound swelled up and after 2 operations, the second requiring a 6 day stay in hospital, the second toe is still inflamed and swollen on 11 September 2000. Hi, While looking for information on the weever fish, I have just come across your website and have something to contribute.
