Welts !!

[happy_pitbull]

All over my inner arm and fingers ! And so so itchy !! AAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!

So.... I knew I was allergic to freeze dried blood worms, but it never occurred to me the frozen variety would affect me as well.... and way worse !! I had thought it was the fact that they were freeze dried that they bothered me, the fine dust from them...but nope!

Man, I am so so itchy ! I just finished washing my hands and arms with soapy water to remove any residue, but it did not take the itch and welts away ! The ones on my inner arm are growing as I type this !! Sheesh ! Wish I had some allergy meds right now ;)

Guess I wont handle them with my hands anymore ! LOL! And good thing I did not touch my face or eyes ! LOL!


Ok... back to itching !! (or trying not to at least !!) Ahhhhhh !!

On a side note, my fish loved them !! And my new puffers fought over them ! Two had a hold of one bloodworm even, one on each end ! It was so cute !! :laugh:

ps... and I had read the story on bloodworms up above before, but had not noticed they included the frozen kinds as well ! LOL!

Yikes, hope your feeling less scratchy soon. I use frozen one's but I guess I'm not susceptible. Be careful I believe you can have a reaction without even touching them.

Glad to hear the swelling and itch is subsiding. Allergic reactions can be very dangerous.:wideeyed:
