So me being the monkey that I am I have been fraging a lot of zoa and paly. For the last two days.
I been dipping them in hydroporoxied . I have boxes of gloves and mask but you know when that primitive
monkey brain starts. I am like it’s no problem, I don’t need no mask lol

right now i have a low fever and my heart is racing bp from my watch says it’s 129
and I am laying in bed.

I am posting this not to get sympathy but in case I have to go to the hospital they don’t misdiagnose me.

also when I get out of this I am getting rid of all the zoas and palys in my system.

please wear gloves and mask when you dealing with zoa / paly rocks.

happens to everyone bud in some way or another. definitely have to use PPE when fragging zoa and palys. I find the bigger the they are the higher the risk.

I also think some people are more sensitive to the toxin. I got rid of my discus tank because I was getting a allergic reaction to black worms . And that’s what they loved to eat . I stop ordering them from California.
but the person I was buying the meat mix started to add black worms to his food mix.
so discus had to go

Amado, I hope it will be fine. I don’t know how bad it can get but let your wife check on you every once a while, like setting an alarm.
I have blood work appointment tomorrow morning at summit medical.
my yearly check up is always the Monday after the Super Bowl. So I will also mention it to my doctor.
so I will let them know to see if they can test for it.
I am not telling my wife anything lol

Power thru bud. Stay hydrated.


I started this hobby not using gloves, destroyed my hands and dried them out gloves with a rubber band is life changing so it is two birds one stone.

Feel better
