As i say in the title sometimes when my gliders scratch me usually something happens to my hand like an allergy for 20-30 minutes.
The same thing happens with cats if they scratch me.
After i wash my hands they calm down and they return to normal.
Any ideas what is it?

i get this too. i think it's because suggie claws are quite similar to cat claws and cause similar scratches (or at least the cat scratches I've had before). More recently my reactions havent been so bad - probably due to prolonged exposure to it.

Yeah, I get it too. Probably doesn't help that they pee where they walk, either.

its just bacteria under their nails cause small infections on the skins surface. I get raised red blotches for about half an hour, then they go away and im left with war wounds.

Yep, when my skin starts looking like that, I know it's time to trim nails...lol! It's not usually so bad if you keep them trimmed or have trim trax in your wheel and they run a lot. I'm highly allergic to cats *sad face*, so I get a LOT worse when cats do it.
