I have worked with fiberglass for over 7 months and I am finding that I am sick alot missing more and more work the doctor is prescribing more medicine each month. Is there such a thing as being allergic to your job?

You need to always use a respirator, not one of those surgical mask things... an actual respirator.

It could damage your lungs if you breathe in small particles of it. Because I'm sure as you all ready know it can cut your skin and is very irritable. So maybe the fiberglass could be getting in your lungs and cutting them.

The airborne particles are ruining your lungs. A doctor and a lawyer should be in your future.
