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 neurodermitis. But spiders never caused any issues for him. He got bombarded way more than me and even got bitten twice by OBTs, but it caused no issues for him.

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

It comes with the territory. Can’t be a bee keeper without getting stung or a cat owner without getting scratches, either.
