Guy should have just poke holes in the container and let an ant farm loose on the bodies. Though, even so they would have just found another reason.
I can't handle amphibians, or as I found out in Cali, go in ponds with large amounts of them. It breaks me out in calloused blister things. Petting my koi does the same thing. (And no they're not warts either.) Dog slobber breaks my face out in painful pimples. You're not the only one with weird allergies, fortunately most mine aren't any where near as severe as yours.
Keep us posted on your baby, you're officially my new soap opera
