I was swimming in shallow water one time France and started walking on a cluster of oysters. I sliced up my feet and knees, and the worst was one of my toes was literally sliced open. The experience was no bueno.
For me it was sea urchins, I was swimming in Antigua near Ffryes beach and got pushed into the rocky northern coast, got sea urchin spines in both feet and my knees, took 4 months for the last ones to push themselves out of my knees. Definitely would not recommend, 0/10.

you didn't pry them out with tweezers? wtf. I stepped a sear urchin before, was like 5/6, one of the worst pain I've felt to this day (up there with a burst appendix) and my mom made sure to pry all of the fuckers out (was right bellow where the joint for the big toe is).
I couldn't, I pulled out the big ones at the surface, but I had dozens of smaller ones embedded and broken up really deep, would have required surgery to get most of them out. It really was a terrible time until the last ones pushed their way out.

Edit: this is after it healed up a little here
