Stingrays do not aggressively attack humans, and stings usually occur when a ray is accidentally stepped on. Shuffling or stamping one's feet while wading through shallow water may cause stingrays to swim away. Contact with the stinger causes local trauma ( from the cut itself ), pain, swelling, muscle cramps from the venom, and possibly infection from bacteria later. The injury is very painful, but seldom life-threatening unless the stinger pierces a vital area. The barb usually breaks off in the wound, and surgery may be required to remove the fragments.
