What is generally a more common complaint among keepers regarding the *G. pulchra* than severe symptoms from the bite itself?

The reaction to the urticating hairs

While the bite from the Brazilian Black tarantula is recognized as minor, keepers frequently report greater long-term nuisance and irritation stemming from the spider's other primary defense: the urticating hairs. These hairs, when kicked off, can cause persistent itching, rashes, and require significant effort to remove from clothing or skin surfaces. In contrast, the physical symptoms from the venom itself are usually temporary, localized, and quickly resolve in healthy individuals. Therefore, the widespread, lingering irritation caused by the mechanical action of the hairs tends to be the more common point of complaint for owners.
