Abstract

Marine animals use toxins which they produce for hunting and self-defense. These toxins can cause morbidity and rarely, mortality in humans. In our manuscript, we aimed to review envenomation and injury caused by wee­ver fish (Trachinidae) in Turkey and to delineate principles of approaching these patients. We present the case of one patient who was evaluated in the emergency department as a result of a probable weever fish enveno­mation.
