We assume that is what killed the dog, don't we....

I'd rather they didn't sell blue ring octopi personally.

As I've said before, I had a doctor check the world medical base, and the only palytoxin deaths were from injesting triggerfish.

Still, people have allergies, so one should use as much caution as possible.

Would it then be prudent for all LFS employess to educate their customers on the many dangers associated with using electical appliances around water? How about a warning everytime someone purchases a mandarin fish stating that it would be in their best interest not to lick their hands if they ever handle the fish? Maybe it would also lie on the shoulders of the employee to ensure that a customer not consider ingesting iodide supplements in case of accidental blood poisoning. While we're up to bat, mayhap it would also be the right thing to do to make sure that everyone washes their hands before and after putting them into the tank? How about skimmate from the protein skimmer? You better not have any exposed cuts in your hands while you're handling that stuff! Bad juju!
