Toledo Zoo Aquarium Renovation – Update 11: Interactive Touchpools

Comments (0)
  1. I was wondering if the starfish and the crab in the touch pool could cause an allergic reaction after touching them? My 15 year old son touched those two anemones and went into being sick, not being able to breath, to having his tongue and lips swell so dangerously, he had emergency treatment via IV. Was very very scary.
    So again my question is can this happen? He has never ever had an allergic reaction to anything. Thank you for your time reading this and I look forward hearing from you.
