Abstract:Freshwater stingray injuries, which should be considered occupational injuries, are common in the study area, especially in places like beaches or in the lakes that form during the dry season, when stingrays are routinely observed. A significant proportion of respondents was unaware of the correct first aid measures and had insufficient resources to treat the complications of these injuries in the locality where they reside. Interactive activities involving local residents - such as lectures and the distributi… Show more
“…In the Brazilian Amazon, stingrays of the Potamotrygonidae family are the most frequent agents of animal-induced aquatic injuries. 2 A picture of a Potamotrygon hystrix is presented in Figure 2, with its tail and stinger. Most injuries happen during the dry season, usually on sandy terrains bordering muddy waters.…”
