The venom is made of crinotoxins and plototoxins. It mainly destroys red blood cells, and also causes swelling, pain and muscle spasms. Symptoms range from mild to severe and include extreme pain, dizziness, redness, swelling, tissue death, numbness, vomiting, breathing difficulty, shock and sepsis.1

Fatgs

Its skin also has cells that release venom, not just its spines.1

In laboratory tests, its sting was lethal to fish, crabs and rodents.1

Juveniles gather in ball-shaped schools of about 100 fish.1

It reached the Mediterranean through the Suez Canal, and has been recorded there since 2002.1

Since 2019 it has been on the European Union's list of Invasive Alien Species of Union concern. This means it cannot be imported, bred, transported, sold or released into the environment in the EU.1
