![]() NOw that's funny...first I did not attack anyone, second you posted a link to answer.com...same type of link I just poste that was supposably not good
![]() I do beleive that some parazoanthus (usualy very ugly brown polyps) are carrier of the toxin, however the likehood of finding this in home aquarium is low. Plus those are not really the type of paly that one would want to frag! lol! If you read, the most severe case of reaction in human was a man trying to boil the ugly paly to get rid of them, not trying to frag them. Here is a chart with the polyps that were found to be carrier: http://www.plosone.org/article/slide...e.0018235.g002 and the link to the study: http://www.plosone.org/article/info%...l.pone.0018235 I just don't beleive that having a left arm go numb would be related to fragging zoanthids. Some people have understanding problem here..I was not saying that the OP was having a heath attack! wow that was funny...but rather that it is a possible causes and that I would go check with a doctor. I do think that the OP should see a doctor and not take any chance with any possible cause. Now that's just plain common sense. Here is another study but I cannot have access to the full thing. Maybe someone here does. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science...41010111000109 Quote:

![]() Please do not misinterpret my paragraph. I simply stated (rephrased) No single account constitutes enough proof either way. I'm simply directing everyone to look for more scientific fact, and not personal account.
I also agree that gloves should be worn as a precautionary measure, since different species of paly and zoanthid contain different levels of toxin. I encourage everyone to read the second link (in full), then you can make up your own mind whether or not to wear gloves when touching marine life, or for that matter, a helmet when you ride your motorcycle. |

![]() Then we come out with the safety of answers.com. Dont poke fun of wiki and then go to answers... better yet dont get your "sound" info from the web. Books are fun too.
Anyways thanks for the tip on the gloves, I will be sure to wear them from here on in. |

![]() god I love this site.
it always amazes me how something can get so out of hand. If you think about it, a box of gloves are cheap. why take the chance for 20 cents???? scientific proof or not. just my two cents.

![]() You believe this and you believe that but you still haven't proven or disproven anything. Op was having symptoms and his theory as to why it happen is way more probable, even without proof. You have 0 facts stating that zoas don't cause tingling in your hand after touching them and that it's only the brown ones.
