[Coral-List] Inquiry to the Coral-l list....

[J. Michael Nolan]

List Members...

A Biology Educator from NY State the following to me yesterday...."A man on Long Island was just released from the hospital where he was in critical day-to-day condition after having inhaled toxic venom fumes from coral in his saltwater fishtank.  There was a full description of his respiratory distress, but I don't remember those details.  This is now 3 weeks later, and he has just come off oxygen."

I looked on the web and could not find any References to it, she said there were many links to the situation.

Can any of the Coral Experts on the list tell me more? Please e-mail me off-list and I will be pleased to summarize. I know a bit about Coral Biology, but nothing like this.

Thank you and have a great Friday.

Mike Nolan
