    I got stung by my carpet anemone about a week ago. And man did it suck! My hand was burning then it swelled up and my joints srtarted to ake all the way up my arm. This lasted for about 48hours. Soak the area that got stung in vinager for 30min this is supose to nutralize the toxins.

    I have been stung buy almost all anemones and the green carpet was the worst. About a month ago I was fragging some palys off a rock. I tooka screwdrive and was breaking off the top layer of rock when the screwdriver slipped and jabbed myself with it covered in paly slime. By the next afternoon the red streaking had run down past the elbow and was stiff as hell.
