Woman stung by fish on honeymoon after bad advice still ill two months on

A couple suffered a honeymoon from hell as the new bride was rushed to hospital after being stung by one of the world's most venomous fish - and has still not recovered two months later. Newlyweds Amy Thomson, 27, and Callum Thomson, 37, were enjoying their two-week honeymoon in September 2022 in Mauritius when disaster struck.

The couple were on a snorkelling trip when Amy decided to take a dip to cool down. As she was putting her sea shoes on, Amy was assured there was nothing dangerous in the water so wouldn't need them.

Amy took the advice and went into the water without them when she was stung by a stone fish - one of the most venomous in the world. After remaining on the trip for another hour, Amy said she experienced the most "intense" pain she has ever felt in her life and visited the hotel doctor.
