Keep in mind I do maintain aquariums for a living...

Lionfish sting - Twice
Bacterial infection - 4 times, had to be treated with antibiotics
Large puffer bite - Bit my thumb clean open!
Moray eel bite - Large Tesselatus Moray
Urchin spine - Too many times to count
Bristleworm spine - Too many times to count
Allergic reaction - Once to a tank LOADED with texas trash palys that I tore down to replace the stand.
Fragging injury - Cut index finger with band saw 1/2 way through nail bed.

I could go on but you get the idea :wink:

I have the first fatality, as soon as I touched my first sps coral my wallet died.

I've had a few run ins with zoanthids/palys making me sick. Upset stomach, metallic taste for two days, etc. Must have gotten used to it since I haven't had that happen in months.

My buddy got a nasty infection from a bristle worm sting. His finger was so swollen he couldn't move it.

Jimflies is the worst I've heard of. He was really sick.

Yeah, I guess I have had an adverse reaction. Didn't think about that one :haha: My wallet is dead, and my wife is sick :p
