I was bitten by a ferocious sea cucumber on the way home from school, should I go to the doctor?

Get a shot or something?|||OH MY GOD. You should go to the doctor this instant.|||i googled some stuff and founf this


"Although sea cucumbers are one of the safest animals on the reef to touch, the numerous white Cuvierian tubules, which some eject when irritated, contain a toxin which can cause blindness if it comes into contact with the eyes. This toxin may also be present on the skin so you should wash your hands after handling these creatures."|||Sea cucumbers are incapable of biting since they have no jaws. In any case, they never get ferocious. Yes, you should go to a doctor... a psychiatrist.
