The trouble with wearing a long-sleeved shirt is that the sap can soak into
the fabric, remain wet and irritate the skin even more. Waterproof clothing
of some kind would probably be best.

Even better, wear a loose long-sleeved shirt of the thoroughly opaque
variety! Djellabas are in :-)

I have found that such things heal faster if left open to the air,
and not anointed, but I can't guarantee that the same is true for
anyone else.
