DENIZENS OF THE DEEP SEA
ECHINODERMS
 |
Echinoderms
contain several classes known to be venomous. Certain sea urchins
have venom organs (globiferous pedicellariae) with calcareous jaws capable
of penetrating human tissue, but injuries from these are rare.
Sea urchin spines inflict more injuries and can break off in the skin and cause local tissue reactions. If not removed they may migrate into deeper tissues, causing a granulomatous nodular leision, or they may wedge against bone or nerve. Joint and muscle pains and dermatitis may also occur. |
