Mustard is an effective remedy for pests and their larvae for fruit tree processingbut you should be careful. I worked with my bare hands, and then mechanically ran a hand over my face. His lips seemed to burn. From my own experience I was convinced that safety precautions should not be neglected. If a burning substance gets on the skin, then this place should be washed with cold water.
