如果它蜇人

把伤口泡在热水里，水温以不烫伤为限、尽量热（先用你自己的手试一试），泡 30 到 90 分钟。去看医生，尤其是被石头鱼和魟鱼伤到时。

一定先拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）。这里是一般急救指导，不是医疗建议。急救基础

注意安全

永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物，即使是很小的，即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
给它留出空间。如果遇到它，保持冷静，慢慢后退，让它走自己的路。
如果被它蜇了：保持冷静，保持不动，拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样，拍张照片会有帮助。

它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己，而且它更愿意躲起来。更多安全知识

事实

It has been seen raising the edges of its disc and pelvic fins to attract cleaning by the bluestreak cleaner wrasse.1

Goatfish often follow foraging rays to catch food the ray misses.1

Most specimens struggle in home aquariums, and many stop feeding or die for no clear reason, so public aquariums have had more success keeping them.1

Unlike many other stingrays, it seldom buries itself in sand.1
