Dang Sherry. You didn't mention the pain when we talked. Hope the tests results are good news.

Wow that is scary stuff! I hope that heals up nice and quick. There is a lot of scary stuff in a tank for sure.
You might want to consider picking up some of these: http://www.leevalley.com/garden/page...,10264&p=10264 they are mucking gloves from Lee Valley. They are pretty rugged I have yet to puncture a set and have been using them for months. I rinse them after use before taking them off then dry them with a towel and just pull them off inside out. They turn right side out easily. A set should last a long time and protect you from lots of bad stuff in your tank.

Many corals are actually poisonous. That was probably what happened and when you reached into the tank, you may have been poisoned. At any time you do not feel well after handling your tank, you should get help. Like soapy said, gloves are strongly recommended.

WOW, gues everyone's differnet. I find the best thing for my cuts and scrapes is a dip in the tank. Makes them heal faster.

I contracted septicemia once while putting away a live rock order. I scratched the back of my wrist on a rock and didn't even notice at first. It only took 6 hours for my whole arm to swell up. Once the veins in your arm turn red up to your elbow, you have to go to the hospital. They gave me doxycycline if I remember correctly.
Mycobacterium Marinum (tuberculosis) isn't the same as the T.B. humans get, but it can give you contact lesions. I had it on a finger for about a year. I know a few people that have contracted it. Doctors don't usually diagnose it because it's an exotic condition and even the aquarist doesn't make the connection. Isoniazid and Rifampin are effective cures. Stingrays, certain tangs, lionfish, sea slugs, mushrooms, zoanthids, anemones, palythoa, and fire worms are just a few of the perils in our aquariums. Aquarium medications, additives, and salmonella are also a potential danger. Rubber gloves are always a good idea.
