When Will The Itching Stop?
I have been repacking an exhaust for the first time tonight with some chopped glass strand. I had gloves on and my overalls on but alas some got on to my forearms. And my does it itch. How long will this last for?!? Is there a cure?

No cure, calamine lotion might help.
Its the tiny glass strands that are poking into you skin that's causing the irritation

Re: When Will The Itching Stop?
There is nothing you can do to avoid this ****. People say a soaking hot bath helps but I found it did nothing for me.
Just wait it out you big pansy. |

I'm usually ok by the next day.
You could always try scraping them off by running the edge of a credit card over your arms. |

Re: When Will The Itching Stop?
What I always do is put my arms (or other affected area) under a cold shower head, the running water washes the fibres off and cools the skin.
