Stopped drinking that stuff and switched to labatts. Luckily (I'm an ass) my buddy was severely asthmatic and had one of those inhalers with a steroids in it and that cleared up the reaction quick. Then a few months later I had a really bad reaction to some microbrew in a keg at a party (I had a swollen red raccoon face and troubled breathing). I had my first allergic reaction like this back in college when I cleaned my cockatiels cage.went for jog.almost died because I couldn't breath. I'm thinkin about just pulverizing and rinsing redworms and/or night crawlers then freezing them. I can wear rubber gloves and that pretty much stops it from happening, but if I stick my hand in a tank that has been fed with bloodworms recently I break out, or touching the rim of the tank that got a drop of water. I'd give up brine shrimp easy but I don't react to them.Įdited by mikez, 03 March 2009 - 01:13 PM.Īpparently its a protein in the worms. I'd hate to have to go without blood worms. I guess you couldn't afford to take that chance with worsening reactions. Only a tiny amount of contact is needed from the worms to a knife, then to my hand, then my eye. Whenever I get careless, it's usually an eye reaction that reminds me. I just take the extra care to minimize exposure. I rely on froozen blood worms, I use a lot. I noticed some cans of freeze dried blood worms actually come with a warning on the label.Īs to alternatives, my reactions are nowhere near as severe as yours so I just live with it.
Touching my eye could lead to several hours of swollen bloodshot painful eye, not to mention the suspicious looks from my wife.Īpparently there is something about blood worms in particular. I wash diligently even if I use a paper towel to handle it.
With frozen I can not touch it with bare skin, it actually gets into tiny cuts and I get maddening localized itching that can't be scratched. I can't use the freeze dried at all - the dust is impossible to avoid.
