Do you think the chemical used to declorinate water included in the stresscoat, sodium thiosulfate, could cause any harm to the hermie when it's being applied in a concentrated drop like that? The MSDS for Stress Coat

states that Stress Coat may cause irritation in highly sensitive people, so I'm wondering if that could also apply to our crabbies when it's used concentrated like that.

I would feel safer using pure aloe gel direct from the plant if I thought any of mine would allow it, which I don't think they would, LOL.

I dunno, I didnt make it up

I thought It was a pretty good idea when I read it and decided to try. Realize a crabs skin isnt like a human's skin... our skin is very sensetive... A crabs exo is rather hard.

As long as you dont like... do it daily it wont harm that much I'd think.
