The ray is a kind of cartilaginous fish with peculiar appearance, which lives in the sea water and has a wide distribution range. Some rays are venomous. They have a poisonous sting on their tail, which acts when it penetrates the organism. Moreover, some species of rays not only have a poisonous thorn, but also have many poisonous thorns on their tails, and the edges are serrated, which is quite obvious from the appearance. They also have a more obvious spine on their back, which is red in color and can be clearly observed. When the ray encounters an enemy and needs to defend itself, they will use poisonous stings. However, not all rays are poisonous, and some species do not have poisonous spines.

Is the ray poisonous?

As mentioned above, some rays are poisonous, and they have more than one poisonous stinger, which will stab into the enemy's body when they are threatened by the enemy. Sometimes, rays sense that humans are a threat to their lives and attack them. Moreover, the toxicity of rays is relatively large. If people are stabbed, then human beings are generally responsive, but some individuals show relatively mild symptoms, some are more serious, and sometimes even lead to death.

Therefore, after being stung by the stinger on the tail or the red thorn on the back of the ray, we must deal with it in time to avoid further aggravation of the symptoms. In addition, rays are edible, and many people are afraid to eat them because of their toxicity. Be careful to remove these toxic parts before eating, and if you are not confident, you can cut off their whole tail.
