Rashes- omg so itchy I want to claw my skin off. But if you even give in for a second, it just gets worse. And the more you scratch the itchier it gets! Not to mention the bigger, redder, welpier...yeah I made that word up.
Any one else fighting this battle?
Any suggestions on better products I could put down, less um.. destructive to my health?
I find the polyaspartics are by far the worst for me, but sense I've been sensitized to the crap, the whole realm of coatings affects me. I wear long sleeves 3 pairs of gloves, chemical respirator.. I take all precautions, but now I don't even have to be working with the stuff, my arms break out if I even go in the trailer or use equipment we use around epoxy!
Am I done for in this industry?
Also, what sort of long term health effects am I looking at?
The polyaspartics I've used come from versatile and Arizona polymer.
Supposedly a while back, the chemist from Versatile told us that the mix he brought to the table for the polyaspartic, was altered by some yahoo in corporate who thought he could save some money by substituting one of the chemicals with a cheaper like kind. Thats when all 7 of us got infected or whatever you call it. Versatile said they were having complaints all across the United states of people reacting to the "new product" that no one was informed about until it was too late.
That kind of piszed me off and I switched companies but it didn't help because like I said now I can't go anywhere near it or be anywhere it was.
These pics are a month apart, 2 separate reactions, I wanted to see if it was the same areas on my skin that kept reacting. I think the answer is pretty evident don't u?
