I know, I know. You want a hot bath to “relax the muscles.” Resist the urge. Hot water opens your pores, and guess what climbs inside? That’s right—more itchy guests. You need a cold shower. It’s the equivalent of telling those fiberglass fibers, “Party’s over, pack your microscopic bags.”
Don’t use soap at first. Just let the cold water run over your skin. The shock will startle the itch into submission. After a minute, use a mild soap—nothing fancy. Pat yourself dry with a towel; don’t rub. Rubbing is just giving those fibers a gentle exfoliating dance they don’t deserve.
