Wifey made me clean the hull on our last trip down to Mexico. While taking a 5 inch putty knife to a couple of lightly encrusted areas, suddenly my skin began tingling uncomfortably.
I swam to the stern, climbed up the ladder and rinsed off with some fresh water. A bit later a reddish welt or two had arisen on my upper left arm where the stinging was most apparent.
Didn't see any jellies in the water, so I'm drawn to it being caused by whatever type of hull life I had just scraped off, or a reaction to the blue ablative...Micron 66.
Anyone else had this happen while cleaning a hull?
