Virgil,
I had a rash break out a few times on my forehead. The doctor diagnosed it as stress related. Your "Birkenstock Doc" is probably doing you a better turn with his hippie remedies. Mine prescribed tranquilizers. I took one, and then threw the rest in the trash after I found out how they made me feel. Yup, Virgil, you're really a candidate for stress. Try to take it easier, please.

Thanks, Scott. Believe me, this has been a big wake-up call for me... I'm not *invincible* anymore...

You are so right, but in keeping with this thread, another bad one is tearing down old walls and ceilings, the junk that comes down with that ceiling. I got into one that I didnt have a mask on when I tore it down, I didnt get a rash but a nosebleed that wouldnt stop. this didnt start that day but two days later in the middle of the night, finally wound up in the hospitol to get packed and that put me out of action for about two weeks.
I love this job but caution is the watch word, especially with some of the substances we are exposed to or run into on a daily basis.
