Yet Another Warning

Then do a test and prove him wrong. Rub zoas all over your skin and then lick a few. See if nothing happens

You might as well have compressed a nerve or something like that and that's where the tingling and numbness came from. It could have been that you are having other more serious issues with your blood vessel and that might come back, if that's the case. I don't think a left arm going numb has anything to do with zoanthids.

If you do a search in google for numbness left arm you will find a lot of possible reasons, but no zoanthid. I would go see my doctor if I were you...as this can hide something nasty, like an upcoming hearth attack.

MMAX is just relating his experience. Take him at his word or not. He has the proof he needs.

Well that's really dumb..Licking something and touching it is not the same thing...hello!???

but I do frag zoanthids and palythoas all the time and never had anything like that..does that prove him wrong? I do have zoa slime and paly slime all over my arm when I am done..I even had some in my eyes a few times and on my face. They splash often.

However this could be a warning for something else..something more serious. I posted a link randomly. Anyone can do a search on google find loads of good references for the possible causes of this. Nothing to do with zoanthids or paly, but it could be a possible stroke coming or hearth problems, or it could be just a nerve.

All I am saying is that there is no proof that it is due to the zoanthids, and it could be something very serious so better have this checked out. It would be stupid not to have this checked by a doctor.

I would be careful on who you're telling their having a heart attack, being in the Medical field and telling someone their having a Heart Attack or Stroke or possibly having one over a Forum is not really a good way of going about it. Now he has explaining his expirence and it could in deed have been an reaction to something new. It could have been 100's of things now yes I will agree "Numbness" could indicate a stroke / heart attack and 1000 other medical diagnosis, They're is alot of other things that go with these, Shortness of Breath, Headache, One sided weakness, Cranial nerve abnormalities... The list goes on and on.

I would also be sceptical on someone who is telling me I am having an acute medical emergency that doesn't know how to spell Heart (Hearth?)

This sort of stuff may be better directed in a PM, I don't know if it's just myself but leave the medical direction to people with the appropriate training.

Thanks for the warning. Anyone cutting zoos should think about erring on the side of caution, as this is an all too common story. Gloves are cheap, and they keep the smell off your fingers

Yes, you could have also been having a brain seizure causing numbness in your hand, in which case gloves still would not hurt. Wear gloves while fragging people, worst case you'll look like a coral surgeon!! hehe
