I got my first tank bite this week from a bristle worm (I think) on my forearm. small reaction but I didn't even realize my forearm was close to the algae it was in till after i felt it. Full length gloves are a good idea but if you're like me on the avg stay at home day your arms are in and out of the tank 20 times!

+1 after an allergic reaction to my anemone and a night in the ER. My arm will not go in the tank with out it on!

After cutting up several hundred frags last weekend at Seth's, I believe I may have contracted a respiratory infection from the corals. I initially thought I had come down with pneumonia.

Long story short:
I ended up at the doctors office thursday getting-

-a cortizone injection,
-on a nebulizer in the office
-prescription inhaler
-presciption steroids
-prescription antibiotics

Doctor- "I don't know what you've got, but whatever it is it's nasty".

Lessons learned-
-wear gloves (which I did)
-wear goggles (which I did not)
-wear a mask (which I did not)

Don't take chances, wear protection.
