On the 14th May I was moving some frag plugs about which had Zoa/paly on, I washed my hands but I remember rubbing my eye.
From the photo it don't look like much....right? But if you are wondering what even a tiny amont of palytoxin feels like in your eye, it's kind of like your eye ball is on fire and someone punched you in the face breaking your eye orbital bones.....for two weeks.
Plus my vision has still not gone back to normal.
I was not going to share this story because it was rather embarrassing, because how much do we read about wearing gloves and goggles! Just goes to show washing your hands with soap and water is not enough.
Cautionary tale....but still bought new Zoa today so not put me off!
