I guess it varies from person to person, but I had an EXTREME and immediate
allergic reaction to the sawdust from that wood. Within 20 seconds of the
first cut, my nostrils, sinus passages and throat slammed shut, I gagged and
coughed and sneezed violently, my eyes itched to holy heaven. It was all I
could do to kill the saw and get out of the shop until the dust settled.

Be careful.

Interesting. I have a similar reaction when I work with Ipe but have no
reaction to Imbuia.
