[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 138790, member: 26980"] I'd worry about handling a NW over a bed or table cloth or towel etc. The urticating hairs could cause serious discomfort to a human, especially if they somehow get into your eyes. At least put the bedding into the washing machine after handling and before you go to bed. As far as handling and OWs, just don't. I have several OWs & not one of them has a temperament remotely suited to handling even in an emergency. Some new world Ts are just as unsuitable for handling as old worlds are, generally handling should be only a last resort. A paintbrush and catch cup are your friends. In the case of old worlds, maybe even 2 catch cups one on each side. [/QUOTE]
