I used to work at a lawnmower/small engine repair show last summer. I used ALOT of varsol and other powerfull parts cleaning agents, and carb boils and didn't think anything of it and got it on my hands. Within in two months I have become sesitive to the point that if someone takes a rag and soaks it in varsol, lets it dry out for couple days, and I pick it up, my hands will brake out in a rash and it will itch like crazy. I have been using the blue nitril(SP?) gloves that you can get in a box from Harbor Frieght, and I know Summit carries them as well. Now I use thoes gloves, and a long sleeve shirt when ever I do anything so I get as little grease or anything else on me as posible. You can never have to much safety stuff on. Thanks for all the warnings, I will start wearing eye, ear protection and a reperator all the time now.
