Allergies work like that. I was fine around bloodworms for about 10 years and then eventually I started sneezing and getting a rash when I used them. I'm now at the point where if somebody threw some at me it would probably kill me.

Wow. Yes, I understand... I have had allergies that come and go quite often.

Wow...I didn't even know people could get allergic to bloodworms. Good to know. I break out in a rash sometimes when i work in my tank. Thot it was the salt water or the stinging cells from the corals...will keep a lookout.

I feed bloodworms to my tank because of my mandarin too. He may pass on a mysis sometimes, but he will never swim by a bloodworm and not eat it. I prob feed once or twice a week though. Good thing too... it sinks to the bottom easily so it's good for the mandarin. On the other hand, I don't feed bloodworms to my corals as they don't seem to like em much. My galaxea will devour mysis but not bloodworms.

The allergy connection is very intersting. However, like others, not sure what my mandarin would then eat? Not to mention its the only meaty food my lawnmower eats, besides the clams I fed to the copperband.
