Does a lionfish kill with a brush of it's stems or is it non-lethal with just a brush?

My dad said that a brush of the lionfish's poison things can kill.


I thought it would just make your toes or something fall of. Which is true?Does a lionfish kill with a brush of it's stems or is it non-lethal with just a brush?
It is possible but highly unlikely that the venom from the lionfish would be lethal. It is supposedly very painful and can last for weeks. In addition necrosis of the surrounding area (decaying flesh) can occur as well with out treatment. The toxicity can vary with species as well.
