I got haired by my curly (was wearing gloves but short sleeves) and it got me in the ditch of my arm. It was miserable for a few days. Pretty sure I may be more sensitive so now I just suit up when I’m doing anything that requires more than watering. Long sleeves, gloves, protective glasses and a face mask. It may be overkill but my anxiety appreciates the extra precautions! If you’re concerned about breathing in the hairs I’d suggest at least just wearing a mask as you may be more sensitive than others.</p></blockquote><p></p>
