I'm the same. The brisles are only a minor irritant for my skin, nose etc. compared to feeder insects.

Bristles use to make me itch badly. I use to very careful handling any T, but after I started to work with a T.apophysis and T.blondi I got so use to the bristles. Haasdas recently saw me handling almost any T without any protection.

The only bad thing I can say is bad, is when you get a T.apophysis or Blondi's hair in your throat. That is really bad, I rather eat chilies before I want those hair in my throat.

They don't bother me so much. Every day now I've been flicked at by my Thrixopelma Ockerti, Curly Hair and Haitian Brown and nothing so far.

We have tried Zambuck, Pseudocrem, Anti-Itch Cream for Mosquito Bites and even facial cooling after-shave moisturizer for Men Nope, I am still itching like mad... I heard someone else talk about caladryl here at work, must give it a try

I can usually handle T's without itching etc, but I have received a good dose of bristles btween my fingers, all over my chest, tummy and all the surrounding soft skins and folds... eish. Soooo itchy...
