Gonzo620 Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 So my mother-in-law was concerned and wanted to share this with me. Apparently another case of palytoxin made national news.

Budman Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 It seems a little fishy to me. It said xenia was the cause. To be palyotoxin it needs to be palys. Now I know first hand it is not something to mess with. I had it get into my skin from absorption. And it was from a paly. Took about 3 to 4 months to heal and 2 months of antibiotics. Shots,iv and pills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hahndn Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 I think he's got the wrong culprit. If handling xenia releases palytoxin, I should be dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
