One Cause of Neck BoiIs.

Neck boils come with the sweaty
season. Many people have large hair
pores on the back of the neck. The
sweaty starched collar rim is good
culture soil for boil and carbuncle
germs, which get rubbed into the
large hair follicles or sacks, producing
a painful, sometimes dangerous
spreading crop.
