Boston Rob's Daughter Hospitalized for "Severe" Reaction to Plant

‘Survivor 50: In the Hands of the Fans’ Cast Revealed

"Boston Rob" Mariano's family vacation in Mexico has hit a snag.

The Survivor alum shared on June 16 that his and wife Amber Mariano’s 14-year-old daughter Carina "got poked by this plant yesterday on the golf course...long story short we ended up in the hospital last night."

"She had a pretty severe reaction to the plant and was in a lot of pain," he recounted on Instagram Stories. "The doctors did an ultrasound to look for the spine, but instead found an abundance of fluid inside her knee near where the plant pricked her and prescribed some antibiotics and anti-inflammatories."

Fortunately for Rob—who is also dad to Lucia, 15, Isabetta, 13, and Adelina, 10, with Amber—Carina started feeling "much better" after receiving treatment.

Sharing a picture of the plant, the 49-year-old added, "We have identified the culprit El Datilillo, 'The Spanish Dagger.'"

The family getaway comes nearly one month after Carina graduated from middle school. At the time, Rob joked that he "cried like a baby" at the teen's academic achievement.

"She received one of her schools top honor, The Leadership award!" he noted on Instagram May 21. "I was so overcome with emotion."

Writing that he's "so proud" of Carina, Rob added in a note to his daughter, "You are so kind and smart and beautiful, and you will succeed in whatever you do. You are a wonderful daughter and a great sister. You are a Champion! I love you with all of my heart!"

And to celebrate the end of another successful school year, Rob took the family to Cabo San Lucas, where he spent Father's Day relaxing by the beach and playing golf.

"Absolutely Perfect!!!" he shared in a June 15 post, later adding, "All #mygirls living their best lives this week."

And for the Traitors star, there's no greater feeling than being with loved ones.

"We spend so much time together because we want to," he said on the First Class Fatherhood podcast in 2020. "That family aspect is the most important part of what I'm teaching my kids."
