A member asked:
When drilling into a fiberglass tub, did not have proper face mask in place. this caused inhalation of fiberglass. what can i do to fix the irritation?

Difficult: Fiberglass inhalation is considered relatively harmless. If the irritation (especially cough) has persisted over weeks, however, following a single exposure, this may be the "reactive airways dysfunction" that affected so many rescue workers after 9/11. A pulmonologist can offer some help. Good luck.

Fiberglass: Irrigate nose twice a day with saline solution and bulb syringe for one week. Get OTC flonase spray and use twice ad ay for 7 to 10 days. Get industrial filtration mask at paint store
