| Abstract: | In 24 girls with atopic dermatitis and a history of irritation to wool, more intense itching was provoked on normal skin on the abdomen by a material with coarse wool fibres (36 microns) than with thinner fibres (20 microns). The probability of the materials causing itching could be predicted by the girls by handling the materials. |
