The marine environment is rich in poisonous and venomous animals and plants. Among them the stonefish is responsible for wounds with poisoning which sometimes evolve towards necrosis. The geographical distribution of such fish is widespread and it usually lives in shallow water; as a result the stings are not rare among the human population. The wounds of stings are at risk of extensive necrosis.
