I am starting to grow suspicious of my mittens. I'm not very observant, but I think they may be the common denominator for my pangolin flare-ups.

I'd better just stick to the mermaid gloves until I can get some wintry mittens. At least if my fingers fall off they'll stop ITCHING.

What's the world coming to, when your own mittens are trying to kill you? I ask you.

Pangolin?

I love this picture now forever.

I've decided there was a were-pangolin in my family tree, because periodically my skin tries to sprout scales. Or it could be eczema or psoriasis, I guess.

New mittens? Old mittens? Freshly washed mittens?

Old gross mittens. That was one of the things that made me start to suspect. I'd been thining I should get new ones anyway ...

If I were following my mother's practices, I would be washing all the winter things at the end of each winter. I am lazy, though, and this doesn't usually happen.

Fill a basin with almost-hot water, add some of your shampoo, and submerge the mittens. Swish them around a little, let them soak for a couple hours, then swish them around again. Rinse a couple of times and put them somewhere to dry. If nothing else, you'll have a less-gross pair of emergency mittens.

I could send you mittens. I have too many! They live in my sock drawer because I don't know what else to do with them. :P

Mittens were created by Satan for express purpose of fooling people into thinking that manual dexterity is less important than making your hands a festering pit of sweat during cold weather.

That's my theory, and I'm sticking with it.

I have seriously suspected for many years that certain inanimate objects were out to kill me. Garden hoses that slither out and wrap around my legs. A certain scarf that constantly catches on things, strangling me ala Isadora Duncan. So I *do* believe that your mittens could be trying to mutate you.

What are these magical mermaid gloves? Can we see pictures? They sound lovely.

Also, mittens can be wonderful but if these are old and gross as you say, perhaps it is time for new ones. There are people who could be easily persuaded to knit you some in the name of SCIENCE. (i.e. me.)

The mermaid gloves can be seen in this post. The mystical secret of their creation, however, is something you will have to ask kadharonon about.
