    Any given person could be allergic to any given animal. So what is highly unlikely for most could be very likely for some...and vis versa.

    I was stung by something in my tank in the fall, and I had the same reaction on my index finger. In my case, it got infected, rather than an allergic reaction. I put polysporin on it for a few days, and it started healing quickly.

    A sting from an animal (for example a bee) can cause an allergic reaction the same way moss, flowers or peanuts can. I myself am allergic to bee stings. some people can handle corals and or anemones and not be effected whatsoever from there sting..others may have a reaction....so if your finger had a reaction.it was an allergic reaction..regaurdless of how severe it may have been.

    or
    mix kalkwasser to the consistency of elmers glue.

    they both require you to squirt it in the mouth of the nem.

    they both do wonders
