I went to the hospital but after waiting for an hour & since there were still 6 people ahead of me (none of them poisoned or worse, I might add) I left & called Poison Control. They told me that poisons are enzymes, enzymes are proteins & proteins denature (break apart) in the presence of heat. By that time, I could stand a lot of heat so that's why I poured near boiling hot water on my arm to break up the toxin before it reached my vital organs. I'd rather suffer from burns & blisters than more serious damage to the organs.
It wasn't the Volitan's fault. I had trained him to eat from my hands/chopsticks, so it was only doing what came "naturally" when it saw my hands in the tank.
