We will get there and attend to it." Example: Sand boils are regarded as an annoyance in protecting areas below flood level behind the levees, but investigations into their occurrence reveal significant information on the interrelation between floodwaters and the movement of ground water in alluvial valleys. During the 1937 flood, the Illinois State Water Survey division made several tests in the Cairo area to determine the origin of the water in sand boils. […] From these tests, it was concluded that the water in the sand boils is fundamentally ground water of the same character as the well water. 2. A boil which forms when sand particles enter and irritate the skin. Labels: rare Example: The boils called sand boils, which form on the front of the knee, are generally produced by small particles of sand being rubbed beneath the skin when the men are kneeling to holystone the decks.

In treating a sand boil, all particles of sand must be removed, wet compresses applied for a day or two, the leg kept at rest, dry lint and adhesive plaster being afterwards used.
