Hello
I’m nee here because it’s actually my husbands hobby but I’m freaking out so any advice welcome.
Earlier today he removed a large rock with these zoas on. He broke the rock as it came out and we didn’t think anything of it until about 2hours later his eye started to burn and itch. It swelled right up and has produced discharge so he went to a&e. They have flushed it and given him some drops to use at home. The eye specialist said he is about 98% blind in one eye and the other one may get worse over night tonight but he can still see out of it.
I’m guessing this must have been airbourne poisoning??
I’ve had a metallic taste in my mouth all day and a salty taste around my mouth/lips but otherwise completely fine. Our toddler was also in the room but he’s only two years old so he can’t answer any questions but he seems fit and well too.
This is where my stupid question comes into it…if it was airbourne then will it be all over my sofas etc because the tank is in our lounge. Or is it instant poisoning then stops?? I’m worried that we are all sat next to the tank this evening and possibly breathing more in??
also does anyone have any stories of their vision recovering?
If you’ve reached this far in my garbled story then thank you
