Default UK : Weever fish often hide under the sand then Sting you
[Lifeguards have issued a warning
to swimmers to be on the look out for
a fish which has a sting said
to be "as bad as childbirth".

According to the RNLI, weever fish
are often found burrowed in the sand
in warm weather,
mostly when there is a low tide,
with their poisonous dorsal
spines sticking up.

Wild Swim Wales adds: "If you step on one,
you'll know about it!
It's said to be as bad as childbirth!"
The warning comes as coastal waters
warm following the recent hot weather
and people head out on
summer holidays around the UK.

You can avoid being stung by
the small sand-coloured fish by
wearing something on your feet at
the beach, or by stamping on the ground,
which should encourage the fish to move.]

I'll be going for a paddle at Scarborough next week. You haven't put me off.

Chilbirth is probably a doddle and women are just over exaggerating like they always do.

And stamp on the ground and the invisible fish will move

It was a Weever Fish. They had quite a few that day so they ended up putting signs up.
