Whew. Glad it was freshwater though! Sad that she gave up everything. I can see the gymnastics of course but I'd still ride my horse if I had one hand injured. Can't quit life because something goes wrong...

It was on a news show last week. I saw the aquarium gravel and figured it was freshwater. Crazy none the less.

Yikes that was an ugly tank. If I were to lose my hand I'd rather lose it for a nicer looking tank than this ... plastic surf boards???

Those people must really be addicted to aquariums..... Let me see if I understand this: Their daughter might have her hand amputated because of an aquarium, and they choose to keep the aquarium. Is this strange or is it just me? I think this would even make me quit the hobby. :( How sad for this young girl......

When I first started in the hobby my mom would help me with my system while I was in College. Soon after she started noticing small lumps on her body. It started with her finger then hand, and eventually worked its way to her chest. She went to a number of doctors to try and get an accurate diagnosis. This went on for what seemed years, and by this time they were actively removing many of the lumps from her chest to get biopsied. Then a doctor asked if she has had her hands in an aquarium around the time she first noticed the symptoms. Long story short, the doctor called it Fish finger or later Fish TB. My mother is fine now, but must keep her distance from my aquarium.
