Bride stung by one of the world’s most venomous fish on her honeymoon

A newlywed couple struggled to honeymoon in Mauritius, East Africa, in September. Amy and Callum Thomson, 27 and 37, respectively, were walking by the seaside when the young woman, thinking that there was nothing dangerous in the area, entered the water barefoot. However, it was stung by a stonefish, which is considered one of the most venomous species in the world.

According to the news of the American New York Post newspaper, the hairdresser said that he was at the barbecue on the beach when he decided to cool off in the sea. He was going to wear diving shoes, but an instructor scolded him. “The man who arranged the trip said, ‘No, no, no, you don’t need that here,'” he said.

The advice turned into a nightmare: The stonefish attack caused the most “intense” pain he’d ever felt. Common in parts of Australia and New Zealand, stonefish can pierce human flesh and inject a venom that can cause heart failure or excruciating pain for days in about half an hour – a naturalist reported a similar case in early November. in Australia.

Amy had to wait almost two hours before she could reach the hotel and get medical attention. He was then taken to the hospital, where he was given morphine and had a procedure to remove the poison from his foot.

The accident ended the couple’s trip. “I was swaddled for the rest of our honeymoon. I couldn’t do anything, I was just cold by the pool,” Amy said. But problems continued after she and Callum returned home, as the pain continued to plague the young woman almost two months after the bite.

“There’s still no solution to this. I feel really bad about all this because I’m still in pain. All this happened while I was putting on my shoes. All that man had to do was say nothing and let me wear them.” Angered at the intervention of the man who was supposed to guide her during a comforting honeymoon that turned into a nightmare, the young woman whined.
