What are the symptoms after being stabbed by sea urchins?

After being stabbed by sea urchin, you will feel burning and severe pain immediately. The pain lasts for several hours, and there is skin bleeding. Soon, edema erythema and occasional blisters appear around the wound. After about 1 to 2 weeks, the rash gradually subsides. This local skin symptom is immediate type allergy.

It is a late-onset reaction, which can occur simultaneously with granuloma or independently. Within a few months after the skin was stabbed, diffuse dark red infiltrating masses appeared in the local area, which mostly occurred in the fingers. Later, the fingers may have fusiform deformity, and have symptoms of localized bone destruction and synovitis of adjacent fingers, which limited the movement of the fingers. This kind of symptoms can not be cured for a long time, and a few can be naturally absorbed.

As the venom or neurotoxin in the sea urchin is injected into the human body, in addition to causing local skin damage, sometimes there are different degrees of systemic poisoning symptoms, such as dizziness, headache, palpitation, blood pressure drop, dyspnea, facial paralysis, and even death due to systemic paralysis.
