Abstract
A 37-year-old man was wading in the shallow ocean water of a Southern California beach when he felt a sudden sharp pain in his right foot. Upon exiting the water, he noticed a small pointed object embedded in the sole of his foot (Figures 1 and 2). The skin around the wound appeared mottled (Figure 1). He began to experience excruciating, throbbing pain in the foot to the point of near-syncope. On the advice of the beach lifeguard he immediately returned home and submerged his foot in a bathtub of hot water.
