Default Lesson Learned-Warning

Last Sat I was aggressively cleaning my tanks of grape calerupa. And yes I was wearing gloves but these were only medical gloves. In the process of pulling this stuff off the rocks the palys secret out a slime when mechanically upset. I don't know if it was the aerosol generated by the cleaning or the skin contact but it almost turned into a medical emergency. I suffered a severe acute asthmatic attack which lasted at least 8 hrs all night. I have no history of asthma. I did seek medical attention in the morning and the doctor put me on Ventolin.
