    funny thing is I have 2 pairs of those aqua gloves. I HATE USING THEM! They are to thick, hard to use and grip hold of things.

    Yeah, that'sone reason I've been putting off the purchase....would be like my dish gloves, unused due to the fingers being so long (I have sm. hands and short fingers). Maybe can use non latex glovesdr. type gloves to handle the zoas & palys then rinse them out & hang to dry till next time.

    FYI, my wife and I had all of these symptoms recently. Even the dry, itchy eyes. We thought it was the food we ate at a restaurant, but there are others here that have had similar symptoms, just not as severe. I really had severe stomach pains. I was really exhausted for about a week, and my digestion just wasn't right for nearly three weeks. My wife never puts her hands in the reef tank, so I know it's not from that.

    very true......could be just something else. unfortunately I will never know. I do have a call to the doctor to get some antibiotic eye drops in case it is pink eye, because i have had several people approach me at work today telling me either 1. i am crying, 2. I look very stoned! neither one i want people to think! :)
