About a month ago I was cleaning out his water bowl and some dead cricket remnants and I must have spooked him because he kicked hairs at me and he got some right on my finger. I washed my hands really good and put some neosporin on and tried to ignore the itchy feeling and the pain after reading that a reaction for several hours and even days is normal for some people. But now a month later, I have noticed that if I push down on my finger (it's my index finger and it's the side where the fingerprint is) it's still very sore where the hairs were. I'm pretty concerned but my doctor really had no idea what to say when I asked about it at a routine check up a few weeks ago. Any ideas on what to do and if this is normal at all?</p></blockquote><p></p>
