Need help with possible coral sting...

[Dearth]

Not sure if I post here but here goes

This morning I picked up 3 coral from my LFS a Red Zoa, Toadstool Leather, Red and Green brain.

As I have had heard numerous stories about coral and their painful potential as I have eczema quite bad in my hands I wore thick latex gloves and went about acclimating and cleaning the coral before introducing into my tank I did the Zoa first then Brain and Leather last it was when I put the Leather in my tank I noticed my glove was ripped on my right hand.

I removed the glove and washed my hands with vinegar and then cleaned with soap and water after. Overkill maybe but I wanted to be safe than sorry.

About an hr later my left hand started to tingle then suddenly cramped up and as I am a lefty I was extremely concerned. It was then I noticed a tiny piece of coral stuck in an existing open wound on my left hand unknown to me my left glove had ripped open as well. About 20 minutes later my hand refused to function normally would close but not open and vice versa. I was started to get real worried I read that I should immerse affected area in vinegar if possible and let it soak. I filled a bowl with vinegar and put my hand in it for several minutes all the while I was in quite a bit of pain.

I then took some Tylenol and waited to see what my hand would do about 15 minutes after the soak my hand started to uncramp and really tingle to the point I was whining a lot but my hand was moving again went to emergency to have it looked at but my hand was feeling much better and all I was given was some anti inflammitores and told to come back if any symptoms re-occurred. Blood was also drawn and an xray taken. it's been 6 hrs since the ordeal started and hand still is sore but now is working again.

Does anybody have any idea what might of got me or did I have a reaction to something and help would be appreciated.

Thank you
