And if someone is allergic (probably shouldn’t be handling molts of any type at all) it can easily trigger the allergy
You’re probably right, but anecdotally, I disagree. I kept a bunch of tarantulas together with my brother and he’s allergic to everything (nuts, pollen (Grass + Trees), dust). He also has asthma an neurodermatitis. But spiders never caused any issues for him. He got bombarded way more than me and even got bitten twice by OBTs.
It comes with the territory. Can’t be a bee keeper without getting stung or a cat owner without getting scratches, either.
I personally never got bitten by a spider. Maybe once, but if so it was a dry bite. There was a bit of a sting when a tarantula ran up my arm under my shirt, but we couldn’t find any wound, not even a minor red bump, later.

Tarantula owners he like “yeah he bombard and he bites, but it’s really no issue. Why are you crying?”
