I'd trade you a frag of zoos, but I'm out of gloves as well as commas, and well, we all know what can happen if I frag those without gloves (I could have a heart attack stroke seizure).

I also work in the medical field. Although my field of study does not include palytoxin (PLTX) I would direct you all to a study from a more reputable source for information. I suggest personal accounts of interactions with zoanthids and palys do not constitute enough scientific proof one way or the other, nor do they make one an expert in the field of medicine.

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.

Scientific proof, by definition, no. However, enough "personal accounts" have been reported immediately following interaction with Zoos and Palys so that I personally feel comfortable with their validity. If I'm fragging them, I'm wearing gloves. Zoos and Palys do contain toxins that can present symptoms such as those reported, therefore, it's entirely plausible AND believable that the personal accounts are true. Since the purchase of latex gloves isn't likely to cause any undue financial hardships on the hobbyist doing the fragging, I'll again recommend anyone doing so err on the side of caution and use them, if only for peace of mind.
