  • Prevention relies on public awareness and protective measures in marine environments.

    • Implications:

    • Healthcare providers should be prepared to manage stonefish envenomations, especially in tourist areas.
    • Public education on identifying and avoiding venomous marine species is crucial for traveler safety.
    • Further research into optimal antivenom use and long-term effects of envenomation is warranted.
