I am much more concerned with their claws than their bite...if only because there is only one mouth a four really strong flailing claws. It is just lovely when they dig into your arm, thigh and stomach all at the same time while you are adjusting your hold because they are squirming...hahahha - like 10-15 big fish hooks stuck in you with people pulling on them from all directions...

OW OW OW OW OWWWWW ow ow AHHHHHH OWWWWWW DAMNIT OWWWWW GOD OW OW OW MAN GET HIM ow ow ow

Of course that is usually followed up with a tail whip to the side of the head because you tried to pull the claws out of your flesh and momentarily forgot about that weapon...hahha

Anyway - I think it was you Frank who described wearing gloves with BTs this way: "Smash your left hand with a hammer. Now put a glove on your right hand and smash that with a hammer." Sure it sorta helped but um, not really. At least not enough to off-set the loss of 'feel' from wearing gloves.
