Precautions
Do not apply NYG KT on any skin surface that is damaged which includes scrapes, cuts, burns,
sunburn or any type of rash or irritation. Individuals with sensitive skin should apply a test piece for
up to 24 hours before a full taping. If skin irritation occurs, remove tape immediately.
Do not overstretch the tape, especially at the ends. When the ends of the tape are applied to the skin
with stretch, they can pull on the skin and cause rashes or even blistering.
