Palytoxin has been found in several soft coral species which are popular for in-home reef aquariums. Although a limited number of case reports describing acute respiratory distress after inhalational exposure to palytoxin have been reported, there have been no reports regarding the potential long-term effects of inhalational exposure to palytoxin in the literature. This case follows an aquatic specialist in the U.S. over a period of seven years after a single intense occupational exposure to the aerosolized toxin from cleaning of a residential aquarium.
已在几种用于家庭水族箱的软珊瑚物种中发现了石房蛤毒素。虽然有一些病例报告描述了吸入石房蛤毒素后出现急性呼吸窘迫，但文献中尚无关于吸入石房蛤毒素潜在长期影响的报道。本病例是在美国的一位水生生物专家在单次职业性暴露于住宅水族馆清洁时所产生的雾化毒素后，经过七年的时间得出的。
