    Sheepskin is often used for people with bedsores, makes sense to me...........natural fibers against the skin.

    Using lambs' wool is a standard procedure for hot spots / blisters where I work. One of three options we have.

    I had not heard of it before I started.

    yeah, i had just never heard of this before, and thought it pretty clever. I could imagine certain areas around the world, mainly mountainous sheep regions where this has probably been done for a thousand years ie; Himalayas, Alps, Chile....ect
