      Yes, but not from my research – just food poisoning! Repeatedly! Nasty stuff, food-borne pathogens. Oh, and more jellyfish stings than I care to remember! Nasty stuff, cnidarian toxins! Gotta love toxins though – have you ever seen a slow lorikeet? They use toxins, as do platypus. How cool!

      Yep, food poisoning from undercooked fish too! Bleurgh!

      Jellyfish stings and an unfortunate encounter or two with Fire Coral is all I have to show for my encounteres with underwater toxins thankfully!
