Catfish Venom surpisingly Dangerous

A study has recently been conducted my University of Michigan graduate student Jeremy Wright. Wright had found that there is an extimated 1250 to 1600 species of catfish that produce various forms of poisionous venom. The venom from the catish is released when an individual cause a potential threat. It is than released through its bony edges around the dorsal and pectoral fin area. Most fisherman who have been stung by these types of catfish often experience mild pain but nothing serious initially. But the true problem is later on after the initial sting. The posion from the catfish stike some time causes a bacterial or fungal infection of which is left untreated could lead to death.
