The reason why fingers itch is because taro skin contains alkaline mucus, which is called grass acid base and has a strong stimulating effect on the skin. Saponin in taro skin makes hands itch. A very small amount of saponin will enter the blood and have hemolytic effect, which will cause the decomposition of red blood cells, leading to the disintegration of blood cells and the loss of coagulation ability.

The preventive method is to wash your hands with vinegar before cutting taro. The acidity of vinegar can neutralize this alkali. If you already feel itchy, here are some ways to relieve it:

1. When your hands itch from scraping taro skin, if you put your hands on the fire, you can stop itching. However, when using this method, care should be taken not to burn the hand skin.

2, use the washbasin to hold some water, add a little vinegar, stir well and then wash your hands with it, which can also relieve itching.

3. When your hand feels itchy because of scraping taro skin, you can rinse it with clear water first, then wipe off the water stain and gently wipe it with a little wind oil essence, and the itching will be eliminated.

4. Apply ginger liquid to your hands, or wipe your hands directly with ginger.

In fact, you can cook the whole taro first and then peel it, so that the nutrition will not be lost and it will not cause your own itching symptoms.
