It is very weird. Thanks for sharing. I hope like heck that you can over-come this. Sure isn't fun when your hobby maybe the one thing that's bad for you.
I remembered cutting pieces of my toadstool off in situ, and never got any adverse reactions. Soon after that I began to read about all the problems that people were having, touching the softies' slime after fragging. I wondered if any of those who are doing a massive amount of fragging to sell is ever sick from doing it. Best of luck and hope that you get better.

If you are certain it is your tank causing this issue, you could be allergic to salt water I suppose or you could be allergic to one of the corals in the tank.
Do you run carbon? Carbon can be a great help in removing coral toxins from the water. Some of those corals can be incredibly toxic. Perhaps it would be a good idea to remove some of the more likely suspects. I am thinking the zoas, palys, and toadstools. Maybe some of the other softies too. With luck you will pull the offending coral. It could even be a hard coral. Unfortunately there is also the possibility that a bacteria, algae or sponge in the tank could also be the culprit. There is so much unknown stuff going on in our tanks that it will be pretty hard to pinpoint the cause. Last edited by soapy; 01-16-2011 at 05:15 PM.

right..except that dizzy spell and nausea is not an allergic reaction, unless you eat the stuff of course. Sneezing, coughing, swelling, skin eruption, eye irritation, runny nose...those are allergic reactions.
Latex allergy: "Allergy to latex comes in two different forms. One form is called a "delayed hypersensitivity" which is usually seen as a skin rash at the site where the latex product contacts the skin. This rash can be quite severe. A more dangerous form of latex allergy is an "immediate reaction" to latex. This is also referred to as anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis can result in seriously low blood pressure, breathing difficulty, and even death. Some patients can experience irritation of the nasal passages similar to hay fever (allergic rhinitis)." I hope you know that this is not an anaphylaxis shock... with any type of allergy there should be at least some allergic reaction. skin rash, breathing problem, irritation etc.. Quote:

Salt water allergy???
Thank you all for your comments. Got cat-scan result today - all OK. Still feel dizzy (damn it). Daniella, I did have the problem of the cristals moving within the inner canals in my ears and had that treated right away with the Epley Manoeuver (not so much fun but works great). That took care of the positional vertigo like you had. This is an additional problem according to the physio. She did mention it could be viral as well. This is been months now and I just find it strange that everytime I clean my tank (even with all arms-covered-gloves) I feel like hell the next day. I'm just desperately trying to pinpoint the cause of this flipping thing but I remain positive. I'm not prepared to give up anything - especially my reef tank - I've invested too much passion in this - just want to go forward and get to the bottom of this... I WILL!!!!!
