my niece stood on one of these horrible fish in cornwall ovwer three weeks ago.
she ended up having some antibiotics, as the doctor said there was an infection.
it still very sore though, and we wonder if it's possible for the sting/spine to actually be in her foot? Or does it just feel that way?

3 weeks is a long time to still have problems and it is certainly possible that the spine is still in the wound.
Give it another 2 or 3 days and if there is no improvement, then go to A&E

will pass on that advice sqad - thanks ♥
Just for information, Weever fish live in coastal waters quite often on shallow sandy bottoms.They are a small(12 cm. or less) pale golden yellow fish that has an up pointing mouth and a spine on the back that has a black marking.The pain of their sting is excruciating and to be avoided. Wear sandals in risk areas.They are not really horrible they just don't like being eaten.
