Now I'm worried ...

From The Tarantula Keepers Guide ...

"Most humans are only mildly allergic to the urticating bristles. The associated rash seldum lasts more than half a day, but it can be spectacular as well as most uncomfortable. Sensitive individuals need not worry unless the rash persists for more than twenty-four hours, or progresses beyond the simple rash condition. Very few people suffer a more severe dermatitis, popularly known as hives, on exposure to the bristles. In this case, a physician's attention is strongly urged."

I guess that means I'm one of the lucky 'few'!

I would consult a physican! That is what your book says. Maybe you should trade her on e-bay for a kitten? You better seek medical attention! Maybe they can give you something for the reaction! You may even make it in the medical journals since it seems that most people don't have that kind of reaction!

Hey Mike is your arm any better now?

Mike's arm is fine now, so no need to worry. It was just a really bad rash. We slathered him with cortizone cream, and it cleared up.
