A short note to consider. If you find you seem to have odd conditions of late, there are rare times when some people are allergic to certain tying materials. I finally realized I was quite allergic to rabbit fur, which makes working with Hare’s Ear quite an itchy, throat seizing proposition. I still use some Hare’s Ear, but not as much as I use to. Furs, hairs, glues, feathers might be causing those itchy eyes, nose or throat. Certain synthetics maybe causing those dried out fingers and cuticles. Normally, not a biggy for most, but something to consider if you seem suddenly affected and can’t figure out the cause.
