Yeah, I have heard a few different things due to the toxins. I have also seen video's in regards to fragging them and the person doing it was wearing safty goggles also...may be a good thing to do as well once you start.

Be very careful, fragging zoas is nothing to mess around with. Some have toxins powerful enough to kill you
