Hi Harry,
If the strips are handled without gloves, some people, after extensive
contact with Apistan/Bayvarol may develop a slight itchy rash on the
hands. This is a temporary reaction which is not serious but may be
bloody annoying. Therefore, wear gloves while handling Apistan, as it
says on the label.
Best regards,
Max
