I had haddoni for a number of years and noticed that I would have really itchy welts on my fingers the day after contact. Not unlike mosquito bites or similar. Very itchy for about a day.

It is possible to have an allergic reaction to the nematocysts. .. it's better to use gloves if you have to handle them or working in a way such that occasional contact is possible. Just some of those disposable latex or whatever gloves are fine, the kind you buy 100 for $4 at Home Depot, sort of thing..
