The inhalation of fiberglass is likely to cause allergic respiratory and skin reactions
Breathing in fiberglass can easily result in severe allergic reactions, particularly if the person has a predisposition to this health condition. The main symptoms of respiratory allergic reactions are:
- runny nose
- frequent sneezing
- wheezing
- difficulty breathing
- nasal congestion
- coughing
If you removed the outer cover of an Ashley or Nectar mattress and now experience these symptoms, we strongly advise you to seek medical assistance, as a respiratory allergic reaction can lead to serious health complications if left untreated, such as hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Some of the people whose cases we took on even had to undergo sinus surgery for the removal of the tiny shards of glass embedded in their nasal passages.
Fiberglass exposure can also cause allergic reactions to the skin. Because skin contact is the most common route of exposure to fiberglass, these allergic reactions are actually the most common. Accordingly, people with fiberglass rashes will notice a patch of small blisters with flaky and dry skin. If they have pale skin, the inflammation will look red. Skin contact with fiberglass causes the most distress to people with sensitive skin, as they will experience significantly more intense and painful symptoms. On the bright side, there are numerous effective treatments for fiberglass rashes that you can get after a medical examination.
