I don't use gloves and have been cut by rocks plenty of times. I've read some real horror stories about people getting cut and then the bacteria that gets in their blood stream. I think I'm just too impatient to put on a pair of gloves. When I see something wrong/coral falls off/clam moved/etc, I just want to fix it
Nope. Though I should... I somehow got a small cut on a rock when ripping off palys. Yes, stupid. Well, what people say is true! Who woulda thunk?! My arm became tingly/numb for the next 12 hours or so... Learned my lesson. I went to sleep and asked people to check on me in the morning to make sure I woke up. =X Once is enough for that
