Palytoxin

[rgun2515]

Spoke to someone recently that had know idea and was fragging corals all the time with no protection...

For those of you who do not know...

Typical symptoms of palytoxin poisoning are angina-like chest pains, asthma-like breathing difficulties, tachycardia, unstable blood pressure, hemolysis (destruction of red blood cells), and an electrocardiogram showing an exaggerated T wave. The onset of symptoms is rapid, and death usually follows just minutes after.
