When I was learning, the guy insisted that I wear long sleeve cotton
shirts. At the time, polyester was still around, and could do evil things
to your body if it caught fire or melted. I buttoned them all the way up
and down, and wore the bib religiously, and rarely got bit. I did have my
shirt burn away from a secondary flame while gas welding, and all I got was
some burnt hair and a hole in my shirt. Felt very lucky for that warning!
