Luckily, PoisonControl told me to soak it under hot water (I used almost boiling water) to denature the poison/enzyme/proteins before they caused permanent damage to my internal organs. Ended up with nasty burns but nothing I couldn't live with.

Yeah, lionfish are beautiful but deadly. Luckily for you, it was JUST a dwarf
