You could say the same about lionfish, zoas, anemones, lps corals, the algae itself or any number of other things.

Freshwater and brackish tanks also have the same potential issues. Examples include the spines on scats, pectoral fins on corys and again some algaes. Also throw a sign on all the puffers that says "do not eat". Maybe do not touch as well, it is possible to absorb the toxin through your skin (it has happened to me).

Then you can pass out pamphlets on allergic reactions to blood worms too. Oh and be careful with those antibiotics, and the malachite green and formalin (carcinogens).

I could go on. I'm not going to say that your particular issue isn't an important consideration but you should consider that it is one of maybe a thousand issues that are just as much a concern.
