HELP! DID I POISON MYSELF??

[Beverly]

Was working with frags this afternoon (scored big ) and was as careful as I could be not to get goo from one frag onto the other. I continually wiped my hands on a wet towel or washed them in tapwater. I went outside for a smoke inbetween doing frags in two tanks.

Now, over an hour later, my lips are a little numb, I'm a bit dizzy, and my head kinda hurts. Dang, I think I poisoned myself I'm thinking I should go to emergency, but I'm about to have supper and am waiting for someone to pick up some livestock.

What other symptoms will I have if I actually have poisoned myself?

HELP!!!!!

Man I'm a smoker too and even I could not resist this one! You had a smoke and you are wondering if you poisoned yourself?
Seriously, though, were the frags zoo's? They are the only ones I've ever heard of doing anything to you. But even that I think is a very rare case. If you start feeling worse I'd go to the hospital, no point taking a risk.

If it get's worse go to the doctor and forget everything else!!!

I don't know anything about this kind of thing, but better to be safe if you think there's a chance of poisoning.

Some corals can have very strong toxins.

I hope that you just have the flu or something.

I agree if you start to feel worse go to the ER but please don't drive yourself... if you have call an ambulance.

Bev? You there?

I hope all is well.. I think in general numbness and light headed is a sign of poisoning with Zoo's.

Everyone PLEASE use gloves and if possible a face shield when fragging zoo's!! please please please.. save yourself the worry and possible poisoning.

I've seen a few accounts of RC of zoo poisoning and most people said they felt fine after a few hours without medical intervention... Generally numbness, metallic taste in the mouth, I think weakness?

Did not work with zoos. Worked with some monti caps and some other species of sps, and two species of leather.

Ate supper, but am feeling not much better. Beth, get here quick Will have husband take me to ER if I'm feeling worse, which I kind of am

[Beverly]

Going to hospital now. Will let you know what happens later.
