Venomous weever fish pose a sting risk to beachgoers in Spain

Spanish authorities are warning beachgoers about the venomous weever fish, which hides in sand and can cause severe pain. The fish's camouflage makes it hard to spot, and stepping on its venomous spines can lead to intense pain, swelling, and other reactions. Immediate first aid involves immersing the affected area in hot water. While not aggressive, the weever fish's presence is a concern during the summer season. Wearing water shoes is recommended for protection.
