Be Careful with those Zoas and Palys!

[James404]

Most of us know that zoas and palys can be very dangerous when we come into contact with them, but just recently someone almost died from scrubbing a zoa rock with hot water! The palytoxin got vaporized and he breathed it in for about 30 minutes. Be careful guys and gals!

I think last year Christine gave us a lecture on that subject at a LIRA meeting ..it was very interesting to learn that many of the skin rashes etc. we get from our tanks can be caused by them..
