I think I got palytoxin poisoning

I waited it out and drank a lot of water.
I was an idiot and fragged a ton of Gobstoppers before I realized I did not remove my contact lens...the rest is self explanatory

Palytoxin sounds a lot worse than this

How many is a ton?

I just Fragged a lot of Gobstoppers not to long ago and nothing happened to me.

What do you think caused you to get sick?

I am home but while I was gone cyano killed most of my zoas, all 3 of my hammer heads, and the anemone is half dead. Also a few kenyas dead.

Well, better the coral be dead than YOU being dead! Glad you are home and hope you can get everything sorted.

Good to hear it ended well. might helps for reefers to print out a scientific palytoxin article and keep it in reach and also to inform their family members that they have some corals that might cause poisoning, this might speed up the diagnosis if one looses consciousness after working in the tank and is rushed to Hospital... guess that's my OCD speaking here!!!
Did the hospital identify which bacteria you were infected with?
