Hey all,
Lately when I've gotten a little shop time, my allergies have been kicking up. I know I'm allergic to dust and when I do a little sanding on my lathe my allergies will kick in. The last couple of times I get a really bad cough, stuffed up and wheezing in my throat/chest. It has not been fun!
Currently I use a mask with the 2 filters on each side and I'll turn on my dust collector if it's a bigger job. It sounds like I need more protection.
Should I look at getting a Trend type airshield?
I know they are expensive but I really love woodworking (turning especially) and I want to protect myself. I don't want to have to give it up!
What have you done to help prevent allergies?
Any advice is appreciated!
