Most sea cucumbers are not poisonous to humans and are safe to eat when properly prepared. However, some species can contain toxins that may be harmful if ingested, and certain individuals may experience allergic reactions. It's important to know which species are safe and to source them from reputable suppliers to avoid any health risks. Always consult local guidelines or experts when foraging or consuming unfamiliar marine life.
Although sea cucumbers are one of the safest animals on the reef to touch, the numerous white Cuvierian tubules, which some eject when irritated, contain a toxin which can cause blindness if it comes into contact with the eyes. This toxin may also be present on the skin so you should wash your hands after handling these creatures
