Does having my Big Bertha Driver surgically removed from my **** after She Who Casts No Shadow found out how much my Red Sea S-650 cost count? Is that classed as a 'Reefing Injury'?

Ouch.Palytoxin poisoning. Twice. Lol
Salt and other stuff in the water can do that to your arm.I had palytoxin poisoning, I was taking palythoas off a rock carefully, and later that day i had a massive migraine, i couldnt sleep at night, i had major body chills even though my body was in a fever and i was hot as heck. My chest also started to hurt. Thankfully it went away after 24 hours, now i never mess with those corals.
Ive also had a weird rash on the underside of my arm by the wrist. Was there for like 2 months and it was raised like poison ivy.. The day it happened my arms were in the tank for like 4-5 hours as i was messing with the rocks and corals ect..
Mine was a lionfish. That was painful. I wasn't even in a tank I was scuba diving.I got zapped by a euphyllia coral. It HURT!! One of the worst stings I've ever had in this hobby. I know it's not the norm, but it definitely happens.
I've always wondered what being stabbed by a lionfish is like.
