Got it. Not fun.

The zoas have a bacterial infection. We treated with a hydrogen peroxide dip.

Me and the missus both got it. Symptoms are much like food poisoning, chills, pain in joints, vomiting, headaches, blurry vision, metallic taste in mouth. Very, very unpleasant.

Treatment: antihistamines (like benydryl) help with the symptoms, lots of liquids to flush the toxin, lots of tylenol for the headaches and pain, and a large bucket to puke in.
