Last night one of my T. Apophysis molted. Idiotically I opened up the exuvium with my bare hands to sex it. Needless to say I now have a plethora of teeny tiny problems on the finger tips of both hands.

How can I get them out? It itches like crazy!

When dealing with urticating hair, ite better to blow on your hand or put your hands
under a fan as the more you scratch the more the hair with get into your sweat pores.

For now, just wash them or use hand sanitizer and dry them under a fan, it wont cure
the problem immediately but will ease the itching a bit.


Good luck :thumbsup:

Run your hand under water, warm water.

Then get some white vinegar and apply to the area with a cloth and wipe the area down with allot of vinegar then wash with soap and warm water.

Keep applying until you feel better.

II use to work with fibre glass, eventually after a whole day of crawling and working with the stuff, viniger was the only thing that would take the itch away and get rid of the fine hairs.

Don't do what I did and rub your eyes. I was in pain with a awollen eye for two weeks, and that was just a Curly. Luckily there was no permanent damage and I only handle exuciums now to remove them. I don't care about sexing my T's anymore. Not after that experience

My 12 year old swears by rubbing moist peatmoss vigourously on the affected areas and he also thinks that using duct tape or packaging tape takes out some of the hairs....
Neither are 'proven' stir

p.s. anyone that tries either of those remedies, please give me some feedback on wether either work for you...

You should buy Anathane. I works with mozzie bites as well.
