Wonder if an reason for a couple of things.
Got a vacanation about 3 weeks ago. Have been down with 1. A cold since then. 2. When going to bed I seem to wake up with an itch and come out in blotches all over my arms, legs, back, neck and chest.
If I turn acrylic when sanding and finishing I usually where gloves. If I turn wood I have been told don't wear gloves. However I have finished sanding and put on gloves to put on sand and sealer, melamine etc.
Also are there certain woods to avoid as recently I have been working with Yew, Brown Ivory, laburnum Purpleheart Ash Oak and a few others. Just wondering if I could be allergic to some of them or are their particular woods to really avoid???

Regards
Tom
