Did it itch at all?    I sometimes get an allergic reaction to fish slime.  I get all red and itchy where the slime was, usually only when my skin is really dry though.

Yes could be an allergic reaction. I knew a fellow fish taxidermist that had to wear rubber gloves when he handled fish.

Also there are various bacteria from fish that can invade cuts and scrapes. It's happened to me a few times as a fish taxidermist. Not fatal though.  ;D
