As a T keeper, I know that you can be the smartest and most careful, and still get bit... and everyone can have different reactions to the same bites.
I am curious as to what you turn to to ease pain, and avoid the effects of bites to the best of your ability. Medicines? Foods? Exercises? What do you guys do?
Also, how common is the tarantula bite allergy? Can it be species specific? I've never been stung by a bee or wasp, a scorpion, or bit by a T in my life. Which is funny, because I play with all of the above quite frequently! But in such, I'm not sure if it's possible to get an emergency use epi-pen. Is that something to be worried about? I've kept scorpions, spiders, and reptiles most of my life and never really thought about it.
Thoughts?
