Abstract

The greater weever (Trachinus draco) is the only venomous fish in Denmark, and if stung by the weever the venom may cause symptoms such as pain, headache, nausea, dizziness and in severe cases systemic allergic reaction or tissue necrosis. The venom is heat-labile and should therefore be treated with warm water to the afflicted area. We report a case of a patient who was stung in the second finger and because of the treatment, he got a second-degree burn, that may have enhanced the effect of the venom, thus resulting in partial finger amputation.
