Urticating Hairs In Cut?

[scarhbar]

I was doing a little tank maintenance on my A. Geniculata's tank, and the little guy started kicking hairs at me. I should have been wearing a band aid (ya, that was a terrible choice). It burned for a long time and itched really bad, so I washed it, but that didn't help so I tried hydrogen peroxide and Neosporin. But that mofo itched through the night! When I woke up the next morning, apparently I scratched it so much, it started cracking around my cut. I'm fairly certain that my skin is getting cracked from the itching, but is it something I should be worried about?? The pictures aren't very great, but what do you guys think?

Looks pretty dry, try some lotion or something. If you got U hairs in a cut God only knows what kind of infection it might cause. Probably don't have to go to a doctor or anything but keep an eye on it, if it starts swelling get a doc.

I got a cut just peppered with T stirmi hairs once and I wasn't even near the spider, they were hair defensively laid on the substrate. Terrible experience. I feel for you.

I really dont want to disturb you, but this as what my hands/fingers looked like back in the days where my troubles with the urticating hairs started, soon after i got respiratory problems, blisters all over my body and felt very weak. I had to go 100% OW in a second. That was bad, but in time it was good. But i sure hope it is not that bad for you!

If your concerned, see a doctor.
