      I reckon so, poor chap probably had an allergic reaction to handling it.

      I've just renewed my First Aid training as rules have recently changed to allow us to administer adrenalin in 'EpiPens'. It was an eye opener to find the number of people who carry them and the range of things they are allergic to, its not just wasp stings and nuts anymore.

        A few years ago my Son was doing some hedge cutting for a guy he knew and my Son was stung by a hornet, within minutes he had lost consciousness, very scary!!!
