I'm probably super overreacting, given I'm a bit of a hypochondriac, but I'm pretty worried that I got some of my T. stirmis hair into my eyes.
I've started being super cautious around her, due to the fact that she loves to kick whenever I look at her. Today while feeding her I wore a longsleeve, facemask, gloves but no eye-protection.
I obviously made sure to be as far away from her enclosure with my head as I could (while still being able to work around her). She kicked 2 times I believe.
The first time was while I was opening her enclosure, so I waited a few seconds before I fully lifted the lid so the hairs could settle. Second time she kicked was when she got scared by the dubia I was giving to her.
Again, my face was well above her level (I was standing, enclosure on the desk) but since that happened I've been worried about hairs travelling upwards. My left eye started to feel a bit dry but I'm pretty sure my mind was looking for something "wrong" after worrying about it over and over again.
No itching, no burning whatsoever though. So how are the chances that I'm just freaking out over nothing? If I would've actually been haired, there should be more severe symptoms (especially in the eyes), right?
Should I go see a doctor anyway?
