I get a rash every once in a while. I *try* to keep my hand out of the tank as much as possible. If I am cleaning the glass and my upper arm rubs against the tank I will get a rash there.
I have also gotten a really weird thing on my finger - I've gotten it twice now and always after working in the tank. It comes the next day and comes up like a hard lump the size of a pea, almost like you would get from a rose prickle. It usually swells right up and hurts and then gets clear liquid in it that when the skin is broken it drains for 1 week or 2. I am not really sure it is related to the tank but can't think of anything else and it has come up in the same spot about 6 months apart.
