I've gotten minor rashes before. Didn't last too long. A couple hours and it was gone. Cortizone cream and have some Benadryl handy just in case.

I once had a patient with an aquarium associated rash, who ended up having a Mycobacterium marinum skin infection.
Mycobacterium marinum is a relative of tuburculosis (one of the atypical mycobacteria). The skin infection it causes usually starts as a small red/blue nodule that then becomes an ulcer and then begins to drain. It's a fairly serious infection but can be treated. Thankfully it is fairly rare, although people with aquariums are known to be a higher risk group for contracting this infection. Here's a link if I have not already bored you to death  )http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic1538.htm Cheers, and happy holidays! Aaron

I dont really get a rash per say but I do get all itchy and stingy after working with the tank. *shrug*
I rinse my arms off after because it's stinging and then it usually goes away after about 10 mins. I do end up scratching which makes it red tho =p asherha

I have recieved some nice stings from Frogspawn Corals. Melted the skin. I wouldn't call it a rash per say though.. Melted the skin?  I've never had that happen from mine, thankfully. I didn't realize they were so toxic.I too get irritated skin, but I always wash and moisturize after my hands are in the tank.
