Allergic Reactions in the field?
After reading the post on "Field dressing with rubber gloves," i noticed some people have an alergic reaction to deer hair and deer blood. Last squirel season, the last squirel i killed and cleaned made my hands break out with something BAD. Now i'm not sure what it was but my hands swelled up and were real read with white bloches on them. The dear i killed last season, was before the squirel, didn't make me do this. Just wondering what some of you guys/gals that have this type of problem do, and if you just have it on a certain type of animal. I sure would hate for my hands to do this with a deer too.

If it was an allergy you can take benedryl which will counteract
the effects of mild allergies. If you would ever experience swelling
of the throat/airway or difficulty breathing take the benedryl if
possible and get to an emergency room as soon as possible. dsheally
