It Could Never Happen To Me!

Wasn't I a fool thinking it couldn't happen to me.
Last night I sat down like I always do and started to do some fragging, some pieces that had broke off in transport, and some stuff that was choking out. No big deal. All was going good. and I stepped out side to have a smoke, continued on my happy way. right b4 bed I placed all the coral in the designated areas. went out and had another smoke. washed my face, off to bed I went.. No Big Thing!!

Woke up this morning and my mouth (lips) felt numb. looked in the mirror and my lips mouth was swollen badly. I looked like Hitch (Like the movie) and it progressively started to get worse, my breathing started to get heavy, coffee didn't taste right, I knew this wasn't a common spider bite.
Went in and woke up Jen< asked her to run to HyVee to get some Benadryl. ( keep in mind 5:55am)
No woman was going to leave the house that early to go to a store for Meds. LOL
She asked what happened so we went threw the steps of what did I eat, drink, wear, soap, etc.
Conclusion Fragging== Zoas Boom the answer! {Palytoxion Poisoning.} Off to the ER. we go.
This was a trip that should have been recorded. The Doctors were clueless< the questions were endless and funny, you smoked it? You ate a what? How did this happen? You drank the water? OMG
2 pills and a shot, and the heart monitor patches. I am home! Lesson Learned.... Wear Gloves when playing with Frags. and don't smoke with out washing your hands prior. even if you have done it multiple times, it can happen to you Even in Iowa. They said it could take up to 3 days for the swelling to go down. All and all im fine and the frags look great!!!!

 

Ya Jen took some pictures of the swelling. .. The questions were quite comical! I will try to get them posted soon.

 

These bad boys.

 

Swelling continues around to the left side.

 

Lol. You wouldn't ever think she would ever do that to me do ya?
