I've kept rats since I was a child and this is more of a recent occurrence. When I've handled my rats, parts of my hands or arm sometimes get itchy and slightly red where I held them. Any tips or tricks to alleviate this?

On a similar note, I've been using Carefresh for a long time but one of my current rats is a chronic sneezer. Would changing to a bedding like aspen potentially help?
 
I don't know about the bedding, but I get itches & welts from my kids too. you can cut the toes out of a pair of long socks to put on your arms, you can cut the shoulders & neck off a turtleneck shirt to slip over your head if they're on your shoulder.
