If you trod on a sea urchin, you have my sympathy. I knew someone who
knelt on one in Corsica, refused first-aid treatment and so had about
two weeks of applying ointment and waiting for the spines to emerge and
be pulled out. Nasty!

There was a report of somebody who had stood on a sea urchin having to
have a foot or a leg amputated

I think I'll stick to the common or GARDEN variety!
