Most lionfish kept in the home aquariums are not deadly. They are only deadly if you ignore the sting or your allergic. Scorpions have a more potent sting then most lionfish, my scorpion stung me a month ago. This is what it feels like: YOu know when you stub your toe on the air conditioner vent in your house? It is just like that but instead of it going away in about 30 seconds. It sticks with you until you get the sting in really hot water.
this is why u dont get stung

Lionfish stings are only deadly if you are allergic, but you don't know your allergic till you get stung....... I have read that a good way to ease the pain of a Lionfish Sting, is to pee on the sting site....... at least that is what they do in the phillipines........ And I am curious as to how it feels when you get stung by a lion, but I am not gonna purposely do it. Although everytime I feed him he gets awful close.......
My grandmother was once stung by a channel catfish, and she had to be hospitalized for a day.
I'd really be interested in knowing first hand how all the stings feel, but only for an instant.

Do any of you have pics of the afflicted body part after being stung by a lion fish? I have a large voltan (sp?) lion that I always tell people will mess them up if they stick their hand in the tank, but I never really had anything to back it up with. I know he inverts if you even get near him, but that's just because he's a jerk that way. I know my eel will take a chunk out of you if you're not paying attention!
