I got 4 new T's tonight. You were are right if
the bug bites there is no stopping it. I got
2 x Lasiodora Parahybana(3cm) and
2 x Grammostola Pulchripes(2cm).
Thanx EvaB.

But as I was rehousing the L.Parahybana I did
the stupidest thing I could ever do. I rubbed my
eye. If I though I had a bad reaction to the
urticating hairs on my skin you should see what my eye looks like.

Ouch Garfield hope some relief follows soon....its NASTY on your hand can only imagine...Good luck...

It hell on earth... or in my case in your eye. I
have emptied half a bottle of allergex eye drops
into my eye and toke a double dose of Scarab's
remedy(OBS).

Going to bed now. Hope its beter in the morning.

Ohhh no, and you looked so bright eyed when you were here, no its seems you are red eyed
Hope you feel better soon, let me know how you feel.

You need to get your eye to a medical emergency clinic ASAP! One in a major hospital is best because they may likely have an ophthalmologist on staff or on call for emergencies. If they don't have one available, they need to get you in to see an ophthalmologist on an emergency basis ASAP. If you hesitate you can do serious, permanent damage to your eye if the urticating bristles actually got on your eyeball. Even if they're only lodged in the conjunctiva (membrane inside your eyelid that attaches to the eyeball) you're going to experience "Hell on Earth" for the next several weeks.
