Namaste. This is an odd question, but God Ganesha is wonderful.
A few years back I made a ton of marigold garlands for the deities here. My fingers developed a "deadening of the skin" condition. The skin dried out, and then rebuilt itself, 7 or 8 times, (until January!) over 3 or 4 months. I treid wearing gloves, ointments etc. it seemed nothing at all worked. I endured the pain. I quit making garlands until this year. Even after 3 garlands only, the condition is returning. Now the priest has actually requested me to make some. I am in a pickle.
I do have a latex allergy, and I believe this is what causes it, but am not sure.
I do wish to be able to continue with the garland making (only this time of year for about 2 months whilst they grow) but feel unable to because of this existing skin condition.
Any suggestions or recommendations of where to seek help for this would be a boon.
Aum Namasivaya
