Why is everyone getting worked up about palytoxin.He mentioned a mushroom,but didn't mention paly's or zoas.Could be anything from an allergic reaction,to the above mentioned bristle worm sting.Or yes palytoxin.What I mean is,lets not head up the wrong trail here,if he says to the DR. palytoxin,they may overlook an allergy that can be just as dangerous.Prodogg everyone is right about not messing around,if it has you worried go the the ER.

yup gloves and tongs would definitely be a good idea. Palytoxin? bristleworms? zoos? nudis? anemones? there's a virtually endless list of what can make you sick that ends up in an aquariium and that's not even including allergic reactions or physical injuries like bites. At any rate, I think it's a good idea to know as close as possible exactly whats in there and what possible dangers they might pose. Glad to hear you're feeling better anyways. Even better to hear that you're learning from this little episode.

Does the thought of this just scare one a bit? Can you imagine being killed by something in your fish tank? Heavens, that would NOT be a way I'd want to die. Especially by something such as a bristleworm =/

"Man dies fiddling in his tank, his friends told him not to but he was stubborn and just had to get that rock formation right. Now he's dead. By a worm. A little, tiny, worm."

I don't think a bristle worm sting can kill you though. They just hurt like hell.. Of course if it was an alergic reaction to the bristle worm sting then thats different.

Just wear gloves and go on your merry way. Also, when fragging, good idea is to wear a face shield, Zoa's etc tend to squirt when fragged

Ive been stung by bristle worms many many times, i wouldnt consider it hurting like hell, just some swelling and inchyness. More an annoyence then anything.

On a side note does anyone remember the story of the persons dog who ate some zoos and passed away.
