This may be kind of an odd-ball question....
Does anyone know anything about whether or not it is safe for pregnant women to handle certain marine creatures? I know that many critters can sting or are toxic- so I'm wondering if it is safe for pregnant women to handle corals, anemones, etc. without using gloves??? Usually anemone stings don't bother humans too much, but I'm wondering if somehow the toxins can be trandferred from mom to baby, & possibly harm the baby?
I just ask because I plan on getting pregnant next summer...
