Ever grabbed a Fireworm? I HAVE! (PICS)

[navajo]

Well, today was the day. Pulled everything out of the tank so I could add a bunch of LR and more sand.

Now, I KNEW I had a LOT of bristleworms, and have even seen what I am sure are fireworms in the tank in the past, but I have almost never worn gloves, so, couldn't be bothered this time either...

Well, I had about 75% of the old rock out of the tank and went to grab another piece. Well! Whadayaknow! SOMETHING (besides my overprotective Clown) bit me! :lol:

So, without further ado, here is what happens when you grab a worm without gloves...

WHAT A GOOBER! So, after MUCH dancing around and scraping, I got most of them out and finished up the job, but I still "feel a slight pinch" once in a while.

GLOVES, PEOPLE! They are your friends! :lol: :rollface: :lol:

Yeah, I tried tape but it didn't work. Just used a Butter Knife under HOT water. It's all good! I think it was actually pretty funny! I KNEW BETTER! :lol:

I put gloves on RIGHT AFTER!

A bit too late though. I agree though! Use gloves when you're putting your hands where you can't see!

OH PLEASE FEEL FREE TO LAUGH!!! I am still laughing myself... My wife just walked in the room and looked at me and busted out laughing again! :lol:

Something about her telling me I should put gloves on about 4 times right before it happened! :rolleye1:

It IS funny when someone does something they know beter than to do and suffers (small) consequences...

And, if you can't laugh at yourself, WHO can you laugh at?

Turbosnail: Yes it was a painful lesson on glove use, but like dc said (WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT OF THE LOUNGE! :lol: ), I HATE gloves!

 

[chrismunn]

[McCrary]

If you get nailed by enough of them, you'll become immune, and the bristles won't stick in as much. Don't ask how I know.

You scared yet? :lol:
