To treat lionfish stings, first immerse the affected area in hot water (not scalding) for 30 to 90 minutes to help alleviate pain and inactivate venom. Remove any spines carefully, as they can cause further injury. Clean the wound with soap and water, then apply an antiseptic. Seek medical attention if symptoms worsen or if an allergic reaction occurs.
