Or you can go and buy a box of the latex powder free examining gloves(don't let your quests see the box or they may wonder about you...lol), they are thin and only cover your hand, but protect you a little from critters like that and rock scrapes.

Or you can use Tony's method...boil them...

LOL, that's a new thread under "Emergencies - Electrical"

Why put it under "Electrical" when we could have it made into a new area called "Tony"

Found this and thought I would post it looks like I may have to go to Dr for my finger tenderness at sting site is gone but still having trouble with joint soreness and stiffness down my finger this could be indication of infection in tendon sheath taking some antibiotics I have if it doesn't knock it out I'll see doc

Bristleworm Sting Treatment
Treatment for a bristleworm bite or sting includes the following:

Apply topical acetic acid (vinegar) or isopropyl alcohol.
Remove bristles with tweezers or adhesive tape.
If severe inflammation and a continual burning sensation develop, apply hydrocortisone cream 3 times per day.
If signs of infection are present, such as pus, redness, or heat, apply topical antibiotic ointment.
Oral antibiotics are usually recommended to prevent infection. If infection develops, continue antibiotics for at least 5 days after all signs of infection have cleared. Check for drug allergy prior to starting any antibiotic. A doctor will recommend the right antibiotic. Some antibiotics can cause sensitivity to the sun, so use a sunscreen (at least SPF 15).
Pain may be relieved with 1-2 acetaminophen (Tylenol) every 4 hours and/or 1-2 ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) every 6-8 hours.

Good info. the sun sencitivity is no joke... I was on IV's when i broke the leg. I was not told to say out of the sun. I never really burn so I was in the sun for like 4 hours before I noticed my back was blistered. It was very bad. I was blistered everywhere. It sucked. hope fingie is better.~
