Daniel Brown was walking around the rock pools at Lee Point beach north of Darwin in the Northern Territory last weekend when he almost stepped on a deadly stonefish, whose venom can kill.
A man who brushed off the pain of stepping on a deadly stonefish with wine and whisky was stunned to squeeze out a 2cm barb from the creature that was still lodged in his foot months later.
Australian Adam Clancy told Newsweek he refused pain killers and used just hot water and red wine to get through the sting. "I m just Aussie," he reasoned.
