Should would be more careful or not.......i

Could have happened to anybody. I don't blame her, I hope they can spare her hand though!

yikes... maybe it would've been better if she didn't hide it from her mom
or maybe not but it sucks anyway.

Hey Pat there are some real nasty stuff in our tanks, like toxins from zoas etc... I've been to a few lectures on the subject and, like in her case, they can be very serious if left untreated...

That is crazy. I wish there was something we could do for that poor little girl and her family.

Poor kid. Hopefully this will work.
