allergies to your tank?

[Beverly]

Des,

You've been working around SW for years, right? Never had a problem until a couple of months ago? I'm wondering if there was a change in one or more of your tanks that might be producing the flu-like symptoms. Did you add anything to any tanks that might be emitting toxins? Have you worked in other people's tanks and gotten the same reaction?

There have been times when reaquascaping a tank that I'll get a rash on my forearm that'll last for up to a week. I attribute that to handling various corals and not wiping my hands between touching each coral and/or to brief brushes with bristleworms or other critters I don't see.
