| Stingrays are a group of rays – cartilaginous fish related to sharks – that have whiplike tails with barbed, usually venomous spines and are found around the world, especially the marine species.

The stings caused excruciating pain and marked inflammation, with local erythema, edema, heat, paleness and... |
