Fact! Stonefish are the world's most venomous fish.
The stonefish causes severe vasoconstriction. If you are stung by one, you may have shock, paralysis, malaise, nausea and vomiting, sweating, delirium, pyrexia, cardiogenic shock, respiratory difficulty, and even death if anti-venom is not administered within a few hours. If you survive, the symptoms might continue for days to weeks, and full recovery can take months.
