[QUOTE="AuntyJacky, post: 178634, member: 33383"] Hi I started with Brachypelmas, Grammostolas, Phormictopus and Nahndus last year but then had sadly discover I'm extremely allergic to the utrticating hairs... They didn't even had to kick hairs (my baby's were super docile like that) the rashes lasted for weeks and had blisters and never had trouble with asthma or anything like this but with my t's I had to wear a scarf around my mouth otherwise couldn't even open the enclosure to water them or feed or I would've had an asthma episode... Thankfully never had any eye problems with the hairs since I'm wearing glasses... But had to eventually face reality and gave them all away... But living without them is so empty so I yesterday ordered an Pterinochilus murinus sling and will start the hobby again but with OW... Heard that Psalmopoeus species also lack the u Hairs but their fuzzy looks do make me nervous... So can someone tell me their experiences and is someone out there as allergic as me or am I alone?
