Thanks everyone I appreciate the kind words. I am feeling a little better. Pretty much just feel tired atm. I will bounce back and am already looking for new rock to gut my system and start over. No more zoanthids and palythoa for me.
I have been wanting to do this for a while and well this give me the green light...
sirreal you are exactly right. The point should be brought up more then it is.
Ludinano, I honestly am not exactly sure. I know it involved steroids, a few other drugs, and an hour long nebulizer to open up my lungs. A lot of IV bags, pain killers, nausia meds, oxygen, and who knows what else. I don't think there is anything specific to palytoxins (I don't think such things exist) and everything I have read is that they treat the symptoms in humans while keeping a close eye on your heart. I overheard the doctor talking to poison control and best I can gather is it blocks your bodies ability to move things around that it needs to move around.
Not all palys have palytoxins but all palys can have palytoxins.
