I used to think that as long as I washed my hand REALLY well that you just had better control bare handed in your tank...
then I reached around a rock and lifted it, it was heavy and the hydroid colony that was living on it DUG into my index finger, cutting right through the skin and broke a couple off in there....

That HURT.
a lot.

Now I wear gloves for anything but the most basic in tank maintenance.
I have had a similar reaction tot he one you described both from palys as well as from frogspawn...

Only when they have some in contact with an open or even old cut though.
and I kinda LIKE the light headedness...

There are days I have hives or a rash from playing in my glass box. Have not gotten stung by a bristle worm yet and that in itself is good luck.

I get a rash on my arms every time I work in my tank. Weirdly enough its from the eurobracing and the salt rubbing on the inside of my upper arm.
