Long story short, cane home from work for my big purple digi colony, fell from its magnet, and crushed the zoa colony below it. I took the purple digi and touched it bare hands, while i was cutting/fragging the digi, i splashed some water tiny bit to my face felt the splash, i know i shouldve used safety goggles, but did i get palytoxins im sweating

To quote Slocke:
If you think you are poisoned the helpline in the US is 1800-222-1222
be aware of the symptoms of palytoxin poisoning just to be safe:
Just to put this out there, if you think you may have been poisoned with palytoxin (which can definitely happen with an open wound), you should call poison control and/or speak with a medical professional.

That's all from me.

its possible if that zoa was a type that actually has the palytoxin. But you may not have absorbed the toxin, google it and look at the symptoms
edit: the above post has info to help you if you have

Most zoa and paly don’t actually produce it. You are likely safe but keep an eye out for symptoms. It’s one of those things…if something was wrong you would know
