Message: <blockquote data-quote="Derbarbarian" data-source="post: 219176" data-attributes="member: 39124">Hey guys, Per the title, I got a bit complacent with my T-Stirmi, I was trying to pull her water bowl out so I could give it a good cleaning and refill it and she started kicking hairs like mad, so I decided to wait it out for a bit to allow any of the hairs she kicked to settle before pulling the water bowl out. I'm guessing I didn't wait long enough as my hands and wrists are now covered in varying sizes of smallish skin tone bumps that itch like absolutely crazy, there isn't any corresponding redness they're just small skin tone bumps, much like what you see with poison ivy just without the redness/general inflammation. Anyways I was going to ask is there a good way to treat these? Or is it just a waiting game at this point? I wasn't sure if soaking them in warm water for a bit and applying some cortisone would help. She's done the same thing in the past and I've usually just waited 20-30 minutes and I didn't have a problem, so I would definitely say I've learned my lesson at this point. Anyways, any input would be greatly appreciated.</blockquote>
