Injuries from sea urchins.

Abstract:

:Injuries from sea urchins result from penetration of the calcareous spines into the skin. Local pain of several days' duration is the most common symptom, but systemic reaction from toxins found in certain species can occur. There is no uniformly accepted successful treatment other than cleansing the wound. Attempts to remove the imbedded spines can increase the severity of the reaction.
