Joe,
I have a couple of friends that have had allergic reactions to mealworms (one had to be taken to the Dr. due to breathing problems!), they are currently working with crickets with no ill effects.
You are correct though, it is not just direct contact that causes issues with the worms.
Keep us posted on what you decide.
One additional note- you could always work with a gecko that does not require live food- crested geckos or day geckos- that will eat the crested gecko diet (let me know if you need more information on this).
