So last night after feeding some nori on a clip I noticed my yellow spot rabbitfish had a huge wad of nori stuck in his mouth. He was making these huge gaping mouth movements but it wouldn't come out. For a while he was swimming fine but then I noticed the nori was visible out of one of his gills. He started struggling to swim and eventually drifted up to the surface. I don't have a net big enough to grab him and Kyle was freaking out. I know, dumb, but I reached in and grabbed him and pulled a huge wad of nori out of his mouth then he immediately tried to breathe and obviously couldn't bc he wasn't in the water so he freaked out and before I could drop him he raised his fin right into the palm of my hand. OUCH!!
Last time he barely pricked me and I had no reaction other than a bit of swelling and pain. This time he got me in three places and it was much deeper. My lips got really swollen and I was wheezing. Luckily (weird way to put it) I have food allergies and have an epipen on hand. I never had to use it, but it did take 3 doses of benadryl and 3 breathing treatments before it started getting better. Today my lips are still a bit swollen and sore from cracking and my hand is sore but not too bad. At least he seemed to appreciate me afterward. Lol
Anyone else have a weird reaction to their sting before?
