THAT is something I can relate to. I've had Tourette's Syndrome all my life, and one of the co-morbid things I have to deal with (though less now than when I was a kid), is sensory processing disorder. Specifically, my tactile sense is sometimes screwy. Certain kinds of cloth feel like fiber glass on my skin. Can be quite painful.

Perhaps contrary to appearances, I am taking this seriously. Maybe I jumped the gun a bit, using my drum sander before I've got dust collection put together. I do value the long term health of my lungs and sinuses. And I was wearing a mask yesterday while I was working.

In the real world I'm a contractor, I always cringe when someone wants a cedar deck. My eyes itch, and I sneeze everytime I cut a board. The green treated framing material is worse with all kinds of nasty chemicals. I put on a good mask when ever I have to work with the stuff.
I can appreciate that. I have a number of environmental allergies myself. I take allergy shots once or twice a month.
