Re: Reefkeeping Dangers

This may sound really weird but Ive had it happen to me a few times. Ive been in the hobby for five years and sometimes like after feeding the fish or having my hand in the tank for a brief time. I will wash my hands and probably within 5-10 minutes my right eye will start to swell. Im not kidding here. The first time it happened I though I got SW in my eye so I blew it off and a few weeks later it happened again and I know I didnt get Sw in my eye.I went to the DR actually right away and they said I am allergic to something in the tank. I have know idea of course what it would be. I dont even have to touch my eye and it swells. Does anybody else have this happen? or am I just one of the weird ones. I put allergy drops in my eyes when this happens and it will stop swelling within an hour. Thats what I look like sometimes.
