Revival of the old thread. But useful info.
I'm really glad I came across this thread & revived it... I knew from my experience that the hammer could sting me, but if not for this thread, I probably wouldn't have known my hippo could sting me until he already had. Any other fish besides the foxface & hippo that I should be aware of???uhh that must of hurt, I got stung by my blue hippo tang. I was moving to a new place and I grabbed the hippo my the sides and his spine were fully extended and stung me. Boy does that hurt I couldnt see and stings on my hand but feels horrible.
Lmao! Yes a good rule to live by...Rule #1 - If there's an open wound and your going in, no glove no love. Sorry fish tank, maybe next time?
This rule also relates to many other life situations
Seriously... Did you really get zoa juice in your eye & it made you go blind?Reminds me of the time I got zoa juice in my eye and started to go blind...
Hmmm, this thread had died a year and a half ago and gets revived with a one-liner. I guess that's one way to get your post count up![]()
Yeah, I'm usually pretty careful washing up but must had some on my hands and rubbed my eyes. My vision started getting hazy to where I felt like I had cotton gauze over my eyes. My wife rushed me to the eye doctor and they gave me antibiotic that cleared up within 24 hours.Seriously... Did you really get zoa juice in your eye & it made you go blind?
Glad I found this thread. I've cleared my tank of all zoas, palys,and annenomies but still getting bit up really bad. I do have a lot of euphyllia though and now I'm pretty sure they are doing it. I'll do a better job of wearing gloves and keep clear of my euphyllia best I can and see if that fixes the problem.
You need to get that looked at right away!!! like now. Don't wait until it's too late. Then again, 6 years later is probably too lateI was rearranging my tank yesterday and hammer coral stung me on my thumb that has a open wound.I ran hot water for good 15 mins and the pain stop but, pain started again last night and this morning, my thumb has swelled up and looks infected.
It's till throbbing as I type this....has anyone experienced this and have any suggestions?
Went to the doctor this morning and was prescribed minocycline 100mg & omnicef 300mg.
