Skin care after vegetation contact and chigger prevention
Dr H N Bundesen advises washing skin with soap and water after contact with vegetation. Sulfur serves as a chigger repellent. A powder of sulfur camphor starch and talc is suggested. Treatment includes an antiseptic and itching preparation containing phenol glycerine and zinc oxide.
