How do I get rid of fiber glass in my eyes, hair and body?



I was exposed to fiber glass in my home six months ago and am still trying to get it out of my hair, eyes and body. Nothing works. Help!


Answers:


1Those installing fiberglass as insulation should always wear gloves, safety glasses and masks. The glass shards and powder can remain on the skin even after several washings. Fiberglass particles can be very irritating to the lungs and hands and extremely damaging to the eyes. A protective hand cream barrier may help prevent some fiberglass powder buildup.

If you work around the compressed form of fiberglass (i.e. electronic boards), compressed air may be the best way to remove tenacious fiberglass residue. Avoid touching eyes or other sensitive areas while working with fiberglass in any form. If the powder does enter the eyes, use plenty of clean water or approved eye wash and visit an eye doctor for emergency examination.

here are some answers i got from a forum:

Vinegar is the best. It neutralizes the resin and then the mess can be washed off with plain soapy water.

I dripped some poxy on a new sweatshirt a couple of days ago. After saturation with vinegar and then run thru the washer the spot is gone.
-----Vinegar for the eyes (duh)-----

also see source for more removal tactics.
good luck. ps. if still having probs see a doc.
