Even if I washed my hands with soap and water immediately after I handle them, the itchy symptoms will still exist on my fingers, the handling instructions also stated it will cause allergy reaction!

Currently what I do is to wear a pair of gloves when handling the FBW, and wash my hand with soap and water immediately after used...

Yeap, it is formalin used to preserve the bloodworm that cause the itch. Some people develop dry and cracked skin overtime.

Figo you have the solution - wear a glove Most safe way.

For me, I just make sure I dun touch the bloodworm when I push it out of the packaging. At least minimise it.
