Which is why I was startled enough to drop the worm. I should probably be wearing surgical gloves when I plow through sand, but I hate to lose sensitivity, with the danger that I could hurt one of my critters because I didn't feel it.Susannah Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11923063322849781223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30584505.post-88963502616926080562012-12-09T06:41:52.358-08:002012-12-09T06:41:52.358-08:00woah.

I remember looking at a very cool worm at low tide in Baja California ('cause the storm-stirred waters = zero snorkeling visibility and sharky-heaven) and thinking about touching it, but then remembered a friend (and marine biologist) told me where she learned to dive, she also learned never to touch anything, as so many things where she was are poisonous. So, I didn't.<br /><br />Looked it up later, and it was a "fire worm." Apparently SPECTACULARLY painful thing if touched. Famously so. But, that's there. So, now I'm wondering about yours. =)biobabblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15081382623906668057noreply@blogger.com
