I’ve been stung by dozens maybe even hundreds of lionfish, I can’t imagine it being any worse than that. I’d compare it more to a wasp/Hornet sting or maybe a bee sting 2x or 3 for a lionfish. It really really hurts for the first hour then after that it’s a dull throb. Hot water immediately helps denature the venomGood to know, have you gotten stung by one yet? I heard its just like a bee sting
