    :lol: You're bad.

    Can't say I've ever injured myself too badly but I have burned myself on MH bulbs.

    Hey! You should be careful! It sounds you are allergic !!! If I were you I would drink a glass of milk (high calcium content) and/or special calcium food additive before sticking my hand into the tank! Calcium acts in our body as an anti-allergic / anti-inflammatory compound! :)

    Update....got a cast wednesday night. I have a fracture and a chipped wrist bone! All from a canopy. The best is the reactions I get from people (a blank stare) when I tell them what happened. They just don't understand...

    Oh where do I start???

    Broke toe after dropping a tank on it. Tank survived

    Sliced hand open with scalpel fragging a very large Sarcophyton....Needed 4 stitches

    Shocked myself so badly I was knocked out (Thanks Mag-Drive!!! Worst pumps ever!)

    Shocked by a malfunctioning TDS meter (Actually got a bruise from that)

    Got palytoxin in my mouth went numb for days (Ala Calfo)

    Got palytoxin in my eye...That swole shut for two days

    Got stung by a 20" Heteractis Crispa. Had to go to the Dr's for that one. Luckily its where my wife works. Makes it easier to explain.

    Developed Hydro-sensitivity to saltwater....Yes I am actually allergic to saltwater.

    Developed Latex sensitivity from wearing gloves all the time to prevent saltwater rash.

    Plus numerous cuts, scrapes, and bruises from all the DIY

    I got bristle worm bristles in my eyelid, and then I superglued my eye shut. Happened at the same time too... Be sure to NEVER itch your eye when you have bristles on your one finger, and when you figure out that you did that, have wet superglue on your other finger!

    Thats a fun one to explain to the wife. But if you have to, start out with "It's not really a good time to explain the anatomy of polycheate worms but..." because when your in that position, its' no good for either of you!
