I just worked on my first Juniper yesterday. I woke up this
morning and my
hands are covered with little red marks from the Juniper
needles. They're
also a little puffy and uncomfortable.

Does this happen every time or do your hands toughen up after a
while? Can
you work on the tree with gloves?

You can try working with latex gloves, but . . .

I find that rubbing a bit of Burt's Bees Bee Balm on my hands
first reduces the pain. But my REAL solution is to not do many
junipers.
