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!
Now come on Sacha, don't be silly.
I know that at times we have very heavy rain and flooding, but not to
the extent that we are going to get sea urchins in the garden.
Some chestnut husks or teasel heads floating around Yes, but sea
urchins, I think not.

It's only a matter of time...
