well some people say wearing eye protection is important when handling New World T's because of their urticating hairs....but i really don't see people follow that at all haha. when my Brachypelma smithi kicks hairs, i immediately take my debit card and scrape them off. it seems to work for me. but theres really nothing you can do about the itchyness part, its just their instincts kicking in.
