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
via HomeMoaners. IT's always happened that old threads
showed up maybe once every month or two, but now it's
like a daily thing.


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.

My two cents


Tow cents are great but one should take first hot shower long one then cold
before you get out you will new person.


YMMV

I spoke from experience. Avoid scratching the itchy skin - just wash
the glass fibers off first with a cold shower. I'll except your
notion of a hot shower after the fact. Then more cold water
