Physical Injury: Sea urchins have sharp and sometimes venomous spines that can puncture the skin upon contact. Accidental stepping on or touching of sea urchins may result in puncture wounds, which can cause pain, inflammation, and in rare cases, secondary infections.
Allergic Reactions: Individuals with known allergies to seafood or marine organisms should exercise caution when handling or coming into contact with sea urchins to avoid potential allergic reactions.
Toxins: Some species of sea urchins produce toxins in their spines or internal organs as a defense mechanism against predators. While the toxicity of sea urchin toxins to humans is generally low, accidental puncture wounds or ingestion of contaminated seafood may cause localized pain, allergic reactions, or, in rare cases, systemic symptoms.
Secondary Infections: Puncture wounds caused by sea urchin spines can provide entry points for bacteria and other microorganisms, increasing the risk of secondary infections if not properly cleaned and treated.

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.
