Okay, this happen saturday while watching the UFC fights. I was messing with my dogs earlier and got a small scratch on my thumb from thier teeth. I didn't think much about it so I washed my hands a couple of times and grabed the live rocks in my curing 29 gallon tank. To make a long story short, I was rearranging for the millionth time when the hammer fell on the frogspawn, I separate them , I guess the frogspawn released it's toxin as I was moving it it away from the hammer. Just a little bit got over the cut... It started burning alot >_< so I washed my cut. and went back into the tank to move some of my new corals I got Saturday and my thumb was still burning. After I finishing rearranging everything again, I finish watching the fights and get ready to go to 6th st. This is where the wierd part comes in, my thumb was numb and I drank alot bc of a friend b-day.....6 shots, 8 beers, and couple mixed... I was only slightly buzzed. I was thinking.... dam glad I didn't buy all the drinks bc It's going to take alot for a buzz..lol. Finaly today the numbness is gone and a little tiggling from the cut ,still pulsing. So next time handling frogspawns and hammers, wear gloves or check for cuts. :(

HAHA. I always have little cuts on my hands and arms when I stick my hands in my tank. I can always feel a little burning, but put it off all on being just the water. I guess I have to pay attention a little better on what I touch. So far no tingling or numbness.
