Default Fiberglass Insulation Skin Irritation?

I posted a while back on how to most effectively and affordably cool my new
house. The consensus was a wholehouse fan or ventilator. After discovering
that most of my neighbors use these I went for it, and did the installation
last night. Thanks to all who posted feedback. Now the real problem...

Stupidly I wore a short sleeve shirt and the fiberglass insulation caused
some skin irritation on my arms. Any remedies for this?

Thanks again.

someone mentioned duct tape. That gave me an idea to use the adhesive tape type lint roller normally used to remove pet hair form one's clothing. I tried this several times and it worked pretty good. It seems to remove many of the fiberglass fibers after rolling four or five times in the affected area.

Good luck.
