Strange high after fragging.

[Soundwave]

So I was fragging a montipora digitata this morning and had to sit down shortly after. I was light headed and felt kinda, well, high. I didn't think montis could do that so it freaked me out a little bit.

I wasn't wearing gloves like I normally do.

Has anyone else had this happen?

Fragging high, huh? Is this similar to runners high?

Perhaps you could send some my way . . . ??? I am not serious, just giving you a hard time.

It's the glue...

hmm kind of weird.....never heard of any type of reaction to monti's

If it were zoanthids that would be understandable, but I have not heard of it in monti fragging.

im not sure what i was fraging but i felt sort of the same way.

I never thought montis could do that either. It's just a blue digi and it was sliming like mad after I cut it. Maybe I'm just sensitive.

maybe you are not breathing normal while fragging
kinda holding your breath when cutting and glueing
then if you stood up i could see someone getting light headed

I had something similar happen to me also. I can't remember what I was fragging but I remember it was late at night and when I took a shower afterwards I felt lightheaded.

I would say this is a good cause. I do this with a lot of things I do.

As a former EMT I would say there could be a hundred reason this could happen ranging from poor circulation, diet, allergic reactions, palpitations, lack of rest, vision problems (you'd be surprised), exhaustion/fatigue, blood sugar, prolonged exposure to synthetic salts, body combating a low grade virus.... Just to name a few. Lightheadedness is a very common sign of poor blood flow thus so many soldiers fainting while standing still for long periods of time though. If you were standing or sitting in the same position for long periods of time (say 10-20 minutes) without much movement while concentrating on cutting I would say this would be a good first diagnosis. If the dizziness went lasted for more than say 10 minutes then I would think it may be something else, but a chemical reaction would not be my first guess.

If it happens again I would recommend going to a doctor.
