I was reading one of those library posts about the stuff we can catch...and I busted out the gloves...and I wash extra extra careful when I am done....

And to think I had been bare knucklin it since I had my first tank as a little kid...whew!

ewwwwwww

Yeah it might be like a bee sting for ya...and the more you get exposed you can actually become hypersensitive to it.

I am careful not to touch my anemones if I can help it. I babysat a sebae for someone though...and I had contact with it a couple times and ugh...I know the feeling you describe. My BTAs dont do that but I try to make an effort not to let them touch my skin at all.
