To top it off,the guy is a vet.You would think with a background in science,it would be second nature for him to do the research and learn about pros/cons of keeping lionfish.

Another unfortunate story along the same lines: The father of a co-worker puchased a lion fish for his tank without doing his homework. He, of course, got stung and out of anger, flushed the lionfish killing it and plugging his toilet in the process.

What is wrong with people?!

I would hope anyone with a venomous animal would know something about the treatment...not just a vet

I doubt those who handle venomous snakes underestimate the power of the animal or do not know the proper treatment required!

I had a lionfish for a while and knew that scorching the wounds would have helped neutralize the venom. You'd think a vet would know that!

It makes me wonder though, if our local hospitals have the knowledge to treat such a injurey? Does anyone know the exact name of lionfish venom? Or zoanthid poison for that matter?
