Pterois, commonly known as lionfish, is a genus of venomous marine fish found mostly in the Indo-Pacific. Pterois is characterized by conspicuous warning coloration with red, white, creamy, or black bands, showy pectoral fins and venomous spiky fin rays.



Lion fish injuries

–Puncture site = redness,swelling
–Systemic reaction = nausea, vomiting, fever, breathing difficulties, convulsions, dizziness, headache, numbness, paresthesia (pins and needles), heartburn, diarrhea, and sweating
–Rarely caused temporary paralysis  , heart failure and even death.
–Serious life threatening if allergic reaction occur
–Animal study  = negative inotropic and chronotropic ,depressing effect on rabbit blood pressure.[22] These results are thought to be due to nitric oxide release
