Electrical Engineers do it on impulse, with faster rise times, with more power, and less resistance at higher frequencies, without shorts, until it Hertz

Oh my gosh!  That's terrible!!!  Wow, makes me really stop to think abuot this...Out of curiosity, how many of us wear gloves when we get in our tank? 

Myself, the only time I wear them is if I'm digging around in the fuge and that's only because I have so many bristle worms and I know what they feel like when touched by them!

WOW! I definetely dont.... gonna start though... I heard about something like this from a dude that was eating oysters in FLA. We were in seista keys and some guy contracted a rare flesh eating bacteria from eating raw oysters, and they had to start amputating almost immediately.. just sucks. Thanks for the info, I'll be sure to wear my gloves from now on.

I've never worn gloves and so far I'm no worse for wear, other than a couple anemone stings.

I have told my family if I ever develop weird symptoms and am unable to talk to make sure they tell the ER we have a SW aquarium with anemones and coral in it.

LOL, I've told my family the exact same thing!  My guess is no one will remember though, so if I suddenly end up in that situation PLEASE remind my family of these things!!!  :)

That is terrible ... I don't wear gloves either.  I need to, we all do.  Note to self, tell family to tell ER that I have SW tank and buy gloves the next time at the Dollar Store  :-ThumbUpsm

I have a lot of zoas, so it was the first thing I mentioned to my Docs when I started having medical problems. Unfortunately its something not easily tested for.

Two things...1st all joking aside, smart thinking! 2nd I'm sorry to hear of the medical issues.
