How many deaths are caused by stone fish?

Stonefish are responsible for a small number of fatalities each year, typically around 1-2 deaths globally, primarily due to their potent venom. Most encounters result in pain and discomfort rather than death, especially with prompt medical treatment. However, fatalities can occur in vulnerable individuals, such as those with pre-existing health conditions or if treatment is delayed. Overall, while dangerous, deaths from stonefish stings are relatively rare.
