I know that most of us know this already, but it was interesting to see on the home page of yahoo. Notable for CDC to take notice of our hobby too.

I'd say there's some truth in that, I tried to kill some zoa/palys from a rock and got really bad hot/cold spells and really sick afterwards (not to the point of the article though, thank goodness!). And when I had a tank, I would sometimes get boils/rash after handling them. And it is always a good idea to wear eye protection and gloves when handling them. I think some are worse than others.

Its ok guys, the article says if you soak the zoas in bleach for 30 mins it will neutralize the toxins.
