Good bump Glenn - I forgot about this thread and the Ice Cap videos about corals stinging humans, and toxins.

 

[nanoreefing4fun]

Thanks... your post today related, made me remember it

Like I said before on a different thread, a man who goes to the same LFS I go is allergic to Bee stings, and almost died because of Zoanthids poison!
Scary, Freaky but true

Great information. I rarely ever go in my tank without gloves on. Better safe then...... dead :dead:

Upon Terry's recommendation several months ago, I bought a box of vinyl gloves. I only use them when handling certain items or when picking up something that I don't know what is under it.

It took me forever to find this old thread - good information when you have time to watch & listen to the 6 videos by Steven Pro (ex Red Sea rep.). To make it easier, here are the youtube links:

I remember this thread! Good idea to bring it back to life Terry. It was a real eye opener when I watched it the first time. Great info.

 

[Reefmack]

Tammy - it really is an eye opener and worth taking the time and watching the videos. It really makes sense to treat corals and tank water with a lot of respect and take precautions to avoid stings, toxins and bacterial infections.

Glenn had me searching for this after he pointed out a post in another section by someone saying that corals cannot sting humans - incorrect!

 

[reeferman]

"so you touched it,now what" brought a totally different thought into my mind! :snowski: :faces:

 

[nanoreefing4fun]

Good find Terry !

 

[David Shaw]

A great reminder to always use gloves in a tank when moving rocks and corals.

It's so good to see this thread again, I touched badly my hammer today

 

[Steven Pro]

It's so good to see this thread again, I touched badly my hammer today

Those Euphyllia species (hammer, frogspawn, and torch) seem to give a lot of people trouble.

 

[Reefmack]

Pocketreef - did you get zapped by your hammer?

Steven Pro - great to see you again! I hope all is well with you. I agree - the Euphyllia especially seem to give a lot of people some problems with stings.

Terry, Steven... it was my fault. While cleaning the corners with a card I've punched the hammer. Interesting it looks happy today :dead:

PS: I have gloves and it worked as a good reminder.
