Wear a mask too if you're using a saw to cut. I use a Dremel with a diamond blade sometimes and I once got poisoned from inhaling the dust produced while fragging.
I've also been skewered(right through my finger, ouch) by a long spine urchin while cleaning a tank so WATCH what you're doing if you have one. I didn't realize it was in there and it was hiding under a black over flow against a black background. Thankfully I didn't get one of the poison spines.
I am often stung by Euphyllia. An orange hammer once stung the back of my wrist and it was very itchy and painful. It produced welts and then black scare marks after the welts went down. Those marks were there for several months and would frequently get itchy still.
