Abstract
A large number of injuries from stingrays are reported each year in th
e United States. Usually these injuries are inflicted by the stingray'
s tail, after the resting stingray is stepped on. The tail has a sting
er that can cause puncture wounds with envenomation. We report a case
in which an injury from a stingray was due to its bite.
