Do you want to stay informed +04, educate yourself before buying about poison and its effects? .......what is this about????

Wesley

Toxins are released by all corals. This is a defense mechanism.

The question was about how toxins affect a person. In general, I received a personal response with an example of the impact. I realized that I need to be even more cautious. It's essential to wash hands thoroughly with soap in case of contact. And to protect the mouth and eyes from splashes during fragmentation outside the aquarium. In general, if no one is interested, I will close the topic tomorrow.

It's actually interesting. If someone wrote about real cases. I recently touched a protophyllum - I feel good. It probably depends more on individual sensitivity to certain toxins. Definitely, the less you touch corals, the better it is for both the corals and their owners. However, if we remember "there is no poison and no medicine, it all depends on the dose," then maybe it can even be beneficial in some cases?

From what I've encountered - itching, burning, redness, localized inflammation (Depends on individual tolerance) Fragmenting - definitely in gloves (and preferably in goggles) In the aquarium, it's most often painful due to burning from little worms or illegal nudibranchs.

I read about worms; the contact area should be rinsed with vinegar to dissolve the calcium needles. However, what actions are needed in case of poisoning by toxins and what antidotes are required is still unclear. The ambulance may not arrive in time.
