Abstract

A large number of injuries from stingrays are reported each year in the United States. Usually these injuries are inflicted by the stingray's tail, after the resting stingray is stepped on. The tail has a stinger that can cause puncture wounds with envenomation. We report a case in which an injury from a stingray was due to its bite.
