0 Day's Fishin Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 They do have what they call poisonous spines but are not lethal, however are very painful like all catfish spines. I had one go through my index finger and penetrate my next finger. I was in pain for a couple of hours with the just about unbearable burning in my fingers. The pain subsided to a bearable burning for about 24hrs. Contacted the hospital and they said I should go into emergency to have it checked just in case. I never did but I should have instead of having another beer with, "it will be fine mate attitude" Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
