In Memoriam
alright, 6PM last night I moved a large zoa colony from one tank to another (no gloves). I was rough on the colony trying to get it to stay put and a few polyps actually broke off. Went to dinner. Came home. Woke up at 2 AM sick as a dog...typical flu symptoms. I'm feeling better tonight, but my hands (particularly the meaty part between your thumb and index finger) have been getting more and more numb/asleep as the day has gone on. My right hand which I handled the colony with is more intense than the left hand. It doesn't hurt, just numb/asleep. I've read all about palytoxins I could today..a lot of contradicting info is what it seems to come down to. My conclusion...I either ate a bad meal last night, actually have some type of flu thing, the zoas got me or maybe even a combination. Not jumping to conclusions. I wouldn't even think the zoas except for the numb hands and seeing that as a common thread in marine toxins. Throw in my paranoia, and well...there ya go.
