A friend of mine (some of you would know him as one of the rowdier pirates at our annual IMAC pirate party) spent over a week in the hospital with an infection. He got it through a cut on his finger while working on his tanks. Luckily, he found out yesterday he's not going to lose his hand.
Now, I've heard folks talking about using gloves ... Anthony Calfo always reminds us to use them when he's doing fragging demos in workshops ... but do I wear them every time I've got my hands in the tank? When I'm scraping the glass with a razor blade? No, I don't. Well, from now on, I WILL.
Even if you don't have venomous fish in your tank, tropical fish and corals can carry wicked germs, folks, like mycobacteria and other nasty stuff. Please wear gloves and be careful.
