Prevention
- The vast majority of incidents of sporotrichosis manifest upon epidermal inoculation of S. schenckii, while working with vegetation or plant based materials that are carrying spores. Preventative measures include:
- Wearing durable gloves, long sleeves, and thick-sole boots while engaging in high risk activities, such as handling thorny plants, sphagnum moss, bales of hay, or any plant or plant product that may potentially cause skin trauma.
- Decreasing one's handling time of sphagnum moss.
