Marine aquarium cautions

[Boomboy]

i must be very lucky ive handle all my corals by hand and even touch them on purpose sometimes, and nothing happened to me, but now i will definatly be more caution, anybody know of those white doctor gloves where to pick some up also what is the right kind to pick up.

Get Nitrile gloves. Similar to plain latex gloves but stronger and designed to keep chemicals off your skin. Any automotive or safety supply store should have them.

for bristle worm spines soak your hand in viniger for a while, it will desolve the spines.

Oh and the Urin for jelly fish stings, Mythbusters proved it false.

Wish I had of read this yesterday, my boyfriend got two fingers full of bristle worm spins FYI tweezers don't work to well.

As for the urine, I always wondered if it was really true or not. Thanks for the info.

YEs peeing opn your feet or hands will kill all bacteria. I wouldnt do it on my hands since I bite my fingers.

But in Afghanistan I had soem infected feet so when i got achance I would do the nasty on my feet and it works..

How did we go from jellyfish stings to bacteria? I thought we were talking about salt water problems not hygiene LOL what about the bacteria that is in your pee that they test for when you are sick? its still alive as they do cultures..
