Haha I'm down with that too! Can't thank you enough for mine! I'm literally going to buy every single species from the genus eventually haha.
I had read they were second worse to T.Stirmi but I also haven't noticed anything. I've never been haired by anything though and had it effect me?
You're very welcome! I'm glad she's loved. They're such sassy little beasts! I used to be quite sensitive to hairs (even Avics were bad for me) but I seem to have gotten more resistant or something. I wear latex gloves when I'm working with my Nhandu or Theraphosa or even with other less-itchy NWs most of the time, but I haven't had a bad reaction in a year or two.
By the way, the forum ad that is displaying for for me right now is an ad for Raid. Rude...

The little female haired me in the face, and yes, I inhaled the little puffball. I opened her top and she was in ambush position...i was inhaling as I opened it..my throat was itchy and irritated for ten or fifteen minutes. I assure you that will never happen again
I just rehoused her and she kicked hair the whole time..the big one doesn't kick hair, but she doesn't tolerate any nonsense like paintbrushes, and will take them from you and taste them, then drop them. I love both of mine But yeah..the big one will bite, I'm sure of it.My genic doesn't kick much hair. Only times i can recall off hand is when we have to move him with the make up brush. "make me move? I'll show ya!" kinda like. Regular maintenance etc. he just sits and watches. If he's startled he'll go hide rather than flick hair.
The hairs haven't bothered me, the only one T of mine that has bothered me with the hair is the A. chalcodes, and that was the settled hair in the enclosure. I remoistened it to use when rehousing from her previous to current enclosure and forgot to put on gloves, stuck my hand in to stir up the substrate and the side of my palm swelled a bit and itched for like 2 days.

Yep. Same for me...
Maybe they could create a kind of "sisterhood" for the deperate wifes of the tarantula keepers, so that they could support each other...!
