There was a post about Maori women being particularly susceptible to
mastyitis during sheep sheering time.  In fact, one of the problems that
these womes face is that the wool fibers can become inbeded under their
skin- even in their breasts.  there are actually brasiers made just for
these women.  These bras are made of an especaiily tightly woven fabric that
keeps the fibers out.  Thought that you would all find this tid-bit interesting!
