It's odd that in the last few weeks there has been this
big increase in the number of old threads that get re-started

They are just itching to get into the conversation?

As a young boy, after school, I made money unloading freight cars
loaded with hundreds of rolls on fiberglass insulation.

Best practice: NEVER scratch the "itching skin"! The pores of the
skin open when sweating, so the glass fibers get into the skin.

Important is to take a _COLD_ shower as soon as possible, just rinsing
off without scrubbing the fiber deeper into the skin.
