WOW!...I never heard of this until now. looks like I better start wearing latex gloves when handling my blood worms. I would get all kinds of goo from the frozen blood worms melting in my hands and I would just wipe my hands off on my pants.
Ohk, umm try using gloves and glasses while feeding. That might work. Or the other option is to change the food, something else that your pet would love to accept. ThxJust figured out I am allergic to BW.
What happens is my eyes start to get a burning itch and worsen if I scratch. Back of my hands get itchy. I just pinned it to it only happens right after I feed fish BW's!!!
Sure enough its all over the net.
Wondering if any members here have same reactions or any Info on what and why makes them an allergen?
Funny thing is I am completely not allergic to anything at all but this lol.
Damn!....this is interesting although bw does not seem to affect me after I work with it to feed my fish.Wash your hands as soon as you are done feeding them. If I do this I can feed bw, other wise my eyes swell shut.
I've handled bloodworms for decades with zero issues. It wasn't until sometime in my 4th decade of fishkeeping that I began to experience reactions to them.Damn!....this is interesting although bw does not seem to affect me after I work with it to feed my fish.
