Resumo
Introduction: Injuries caused by fish are common in the Pantanal, a flooded area in Midwestern Brazil. Methods: A survey was conducted to identify venomous and trauma-inducing fish and the incidence of such injuries in a local fishing community. Results: The injuries were caused by catfish, freshwater stingrays, and piranhas. All fishermen had suffered injuries, and nearly 30% had recent injuries. Conclusions: A leaflet and discussions decreased the injuries (only two were recorded in the next year). The campaign educated fishermen about prevention of and first aid for injuries. Similar campaigns will be performed in other communities of the Pantanal.
