Alamea is a type of Starfish found in Samoa, when stepped on it stings you with its venomous spikes. It is said that if you flip the alamea over & step on it again- the tube feet will suck out the poison from your wounds. Theres a Samoan proverb that goes- E fofo e le alamea le alamea. directly translated as The cure for alamea is alamea. Being that true Samoan oratory is poetic, much more than its literal translation is its metaphoric meaning. Siblings may have their issues & quarrels but the only way they overcome them is when they themselves sort it out. E fofo e le alamea le alamea.
