1, itchy reason

In the process of yam processing, more mucus will be secreted, and these mucus contains more phytoalkaloids, which will cause greater irritation to the skin after contacting the human skin, and then itchy symptoms will appear. These yams with fresh mucus secrete more, so they are more nutritious to the skin.

2. Treatment methods

If the skin itches when processing yam, don't worry, you can prepare a pot of hot water at 50-60 degrees Celsius, then add a small amount of salt to it, and then soak the itchy part in it, which can effectively achieve the effect of relieving itching. You can also smear the itchy place with vinegar, and don't wash it off immediately. After a period of time, you can eliminate the itchy symptoms, and then you can wash off the coated vinegar.

3, prevention methods

Dealing with the itching symptoms caused by yam is still very troublesome, so we need to do a good job of prevention. The simplest thing is to wear gloves, and you can effectively avoid itchy symptoms without touching the mucus of yam. You can also boil yam in hot water for a while, which can decompose the substances that cause itching, so that the symptoms of itching will not appear after processing yam. You can also smear the skin that may come into contact with yam mucus with vinegar first, and then treat yam without causing itching.
