- Briefly talking about some methods I use for relief when I get the itch from Tarantula Urticating Hairs, which bring me up in hives, and cause urticaria and pompholyx eczema, also talking about treatment.

My b. smithi handeling session ended up with my nose, upper lip, arms, and legs going up in hives and swelling lol. It’s been an hour of itching and swelling but I can feel it going down thankfully
Use cold water. Hot water opens up your pores and usually makes it harder for itching to go away.
Very informative. Love your videos 👌
Looks painful! I keep hair kickers and I usually pop on gloves before doing anything in their enclosures, and rinse my hands + lower arms well afterwards.if I forget to wear gloves, I start itching within minutes of dealing with my P sazimai, N chromatus. Those ones seem to set me off plus they kick quite a bit of hair around the enclosure
I unfortunitly suffer from a bad allergic reactions too its not nice at all, it hurts less to scratch your skin raw then sit with the blisters all day...
Great information
I must be so allergic. While watering my H. Formosus, I went to adjust the nozzle of my spray bottle and turned it too far, and when I squeezed the handle, the tip came clean off and into its hair webs. In retrieving the nozzle, I must have been careless and not only grabbed the nozzle but pushed my finger into the substrate a little. I think I forced some hairs up under my cuticle because it looks and feels as though I have the worst infected ingrown nail of all time. It's so swollen and painful that I couldn't even sleep. I'm a person that has seasonal allergies as well as extremely allergic to cats (dunno if there's any correlation there) also the nature of it seems heightened from the hairs basically infiltrating my skin and going up into my finger where the skin meets the nail. It's not really any itching but severe pain and very swollen and throbbing. There's also some very deep blisters forming. The blisters seem deep and still developing. The best thing I've found to sooth it is basically sitting next to a huge cup of iced water with my finger in it. Any contact with the swollen finger causes big time pain, so compresses are kinda out. Anyway, I doubt anyone read all that, but thanks for the video.
Try running your hand under hot water when it gets extremely itchy, it’ll offer you a full day of relief and short out the itch signal to the brain. Basically the science behind it, is it’s two signals and the pain overrides the itchy, cold works also but the hot water feels really good. My other choice is to have a pin handy and lance the blisters they heal on their own after a day 👍
Just moved my pink bird eater and this is how I found your video. Not itching bad at the moment and i'm using a tweezer as best i can.
Uhhhhh doubt. They’re microscopic
@@Nephilim12340 well I'm myopic. I know everyone says they are too small but I was able to see at least some of them. I pulled something out of my fingers, if not that then what?
I was wondering why these little ichy blisters where on my hands...i was handling a tarantula. 😅
I'll try the benedryl.
The tape method I described should be your first port of call because the little hairs are still lodged in your skin, you’ll have to wait until the skin layer sheds otherwise.
wish i had seen this before... :)
did you get it on you?
Just rehoused my B. Smithi and the insides of both forearms have blisters on them. I never remember to wear gloves and long sleeve shirts until afterwards 🤪
thank you, the hot water works best for me
Doesnt very hot water make the blisters show up more??
No offence, but you’re a bit of a nutcase. In a good way. Anybody who can handle those animals has got to be! Interesting video. Hope the hand gets better.
Well mine has kicked hairs at me once but i didn't feel anything wierd.
Why am I starting to itch just watching this video
Your subconscious
Anybody see that San Antonio Texas tarantula on the news on the back door of their apartment???... Unbelievably huge!!!...
Got a link to article, be interesting to read
@@whiteyexotics he probably is talking about www.ksat.com/news/local/2020/06/22/huge-spider-greets-family-new-to-san-antonio/ Aphonopelma anax apparently. Poor guy never saw a blondi if that's a "unbelievably huge" spider to him xD
I have pompholyx and don't even own any tarantulas. The only thing that works for me is topical steroids like triamcinolone, which you have to get from a doctor
I found out this week Im allergic to my chaco golden knee. My hand are swollen and itch extremely. So bad I scratch the blisters open. I got cortisone ointment and anthihestamine from my doctor but doesnt seem to work.
Urticating hairs. The assbestose of the animal kingdom 😁
My finger is so swollen I hope my gf like it
Itchy too, maybe she’ll enjoy that
As the hairs are stuck in the skin and causing irritation. Could you use the tip of hot needle and just burn those hairs off?
you cant see them without microscope
