skin window technique is used in immunology where the top layer of skin is scraped off making it possible to identify the immune response that would occur with a diminished physical barrier in the host, and observe mobilization of leukocytes.
It was developed by John Rebuck in 1955.

and many, and many,
burned at the stake,
peeling their skin off,
boiling their good red blood,
their hearts like eggs....”

Under the window where I often found her
Sitting as huge as Asia, seismic with laughter,”
