WallsOfGab Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Hello and greetings from New Jersey! I'm a college student that had a brand new lizard to feed and started raising roaches only to fall in love with them. Seriously. I love my Dubias and I just got a bunch of Halloween Hissers. Ended up buying some Question Marks as well and now I'm absolutely hooked and fascinated with them (try explaining that to mum... lol). Hoping to learn lots from this forum while I lurk around. So yeah. Hi! Really nice to find a community that won't go EWWWWWWW when I show them my babies. Oh! One question - how many of you wear gloves to handle your roaches? I've been seeing people handle them with gloves because you can become allergic and without them and I have no idea what's the correct way. I just pick up my chill ones and let them hang out. Is this alright? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Hello and welcome! I just handle my bugs with my bare hands, I don't quite believe that you can just become allergic to roaches just by holding them often, then again some people are more sensitive than others, (I ain't allergic to nothing! ).

wcbpolish Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Where the leg spines prick my arms/backs of hands I tend to get a itchy rash, so I try not to handle them too much. But I seldome wear gloves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
