Özet
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.
