Sea Cucumber Irritation Overview
Sea cucumbers are marine creatures that have elongated armless bodies. Tentacles encircle their mouths. Sea cucumbers live in temperate, subtropical, and tropical waters. They are not aggressive creatures, so human contact with them is often intentional. Contact with a sea cucumber’s excrement or eating an inadequately cooked sea cucumber can cause a rash.
