I don't wear gloves when I work on my tank.  This weekend, I did a lot of work on the tank and I touched a lot of liverock and coral.  Usually, I'll get a few allergic reactions from acros when I scrape them with my forearm.  This time it happened again but I also felt some tingling on one finger (on the hand that I used to move liverock around).  Later in the day, I had some tingling in my chest.  I thought, "ah crap, something must have stung me".  I sometimes get some tingling or feel a bit sick after I aquascape my tank (and I've read others do as well).  Luckily, it only lasted 3/4 of a day before the tingling pain in my chest went away.  Certainly, I was a bit anxious and thoughts of what am I going to do if this gets worse ran through my mind as I went to sleep.
