    paly toxin usually makes you feel super sick like vomiting and headache and nausea and can cause paralysis leading to death.

    On the other hand, I have had euphillia that has made me break out into a skin rash.

    It doesn't sound like it, but make sure that it isn't marine tuberculosis.

    thats if it makes its way into an open sore or a cut to my understanding that it causes such bad stages of the toxins

    my dermatologist agrees its some kind of contact rash meaning some kind of irritant(possibly from fish tank) came in contact with my hand and i touched other places. this being said, i havent really been outdoors or touched anything outdoors, i havent changed any soaps/detergents etc, nothing new has been introduced into my normal routine. The only other possible thing the doctor said it could be is from a pet that ran into something which i do have 2 dogs but they are only ever in my yard and my yard is well kept so thats most likely out of the question. however i have been working on my tanks the couple days prior and if not palytoxins its probably from that.
