everyones reaction to a toxin is different. For example, a bee sting can cause a major reaction in someone who is hypersensitive to the toxins in the stinger and it can cause a minor localized reactions in others. so it could be possible to develop a hypersensitivity to zoa toxins, that it would cause a serious reaction if exposed.

i must be immune, ive been squirted many times by both zoos and palys and have had no reaction whatsoever

I am completely immune to poison ivy, I can pick it up and rub it on my skin and have no reaction. When I handled my new ppe's I got very sick flu like symptoms with numbness in my left hand and forearm that lasted about two days. I had a small scrape on my left hand from plumbing a tank which I think is where the toxins entered. I don't touch zoos anymore with bare hands.
Thanks,
Sean =-)
