Guest guest Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Can someone give me advice as to the best way to apply TD ALA? Can I wear latex gloves and rub it in that way? I have amalgams, so I'm concerned about coming in contact with it, and I know that will be no help in applying it himself, I'll have to distract him with his favorite song or something when I put it on him. Also I've read that the bottom of the foot a good place to apply it or right under the ribs, is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 , I have heard of other people using some kind of clear plastic stuff they get at the drug store to cover it up so it doesn't rub off on the clothes/jammies. Some people do put it on the bottoms of the feet and then put on socks to try to keep it from rubbing off. The latex gloves should work, I would rinse them off with water before using them to get rid of that powder they apply to them to keep them from sticking together. Good Luck !

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 It's called Tegaderm. Many drug stores have their own brand, much cheaper. amy Neil Willet <thecomputershop@...> wrote: , I have heard of other people using some kind of clear plastic stuff they get at the drug store to cover it up so it doesn't rub off on the clothes/jammies.
