Stonefish The most venomous fish known to humans is an easy one to miss—which is exactly what it wants. Stonefish, after all, are named for their visual similarity to rocks, sitting perfectly still and blending right into the seabed where an unsuspecting foot can easily step down on their dorsal fins, primed and ready with potent neurotoxins. The unluckiest clodhoppers will step hard, applying more pressure and increasing the amount of venom that gets injected; they may also trigger the stonefish’s secondary defense mechanism known as a lachrymal saber, which has been likened to a switchblade of the face. Fatality from stonefish venom can occur within an hour, so it’s recommended to seek antivenom immediately, applying water heated to over 113 °F (45 °C) in the meantime to denature the venom. Most importantly, watch where you step. Where to find them: Coastal Indo-Pacific Ocean, The Red Sea, and the Great Barrier Reef #info #EverythingsInfo
