I have all those symptoms twice except death. Note the aerosol link

Scary stuff , makes you think twice about going all chainsaw massacre on ugly palys . We all might need to adopt a brown is beautiful mindset or we are all gonna die !

Warning number 1 in the marine aquarium cautions thread

wow...an article with only one source of reference which is a forum message posted by one person?

sure...

I touch and frag paly and zoanthids all the time, get slimed all over and never ever had any trace of symptoms from it.

I ever keep some very huge paly that came on some liverock and never have any reaction when I touch them.

My main passion in coral are zoanthids and paly and I love to collect as many variety as I can... sure.... what ever...

Only takes one time to get nuked.....

now how do you feel about licking your hands after fragging your zoas?

dont listen to her, people.......do not mess around.....take precautions or at the very least wash your hands thoroughly.......

What an idiotic thing to say. It's a known fact that alot of people have been sick due to this. Just like telling a person a different thread that they are basically just imagining their symptons 'cause they read about side effects.

unfortunatly this is becoming much to common, and the reefer community (new and old) needs to be aware of the dangers that lurk in our tanks. As fencer said, it only takes one time.

Great link! thanks for sharing!
