I wish I hadn't.......
« on: February 08, 2007, 10:55:00 AM »
...........shaved my head, 10 minutes before going into the workcave to sand a load of cocbolo knife handles. The irritant properties of this wood just aren't properly documented. I now have a pimply rash running from my chinny-chin-chin, right up me face, over me once shiny dome of a head & right down the back of me neck. It's itching like nothing on earth!!! (& ruining me boyish good looks)     :knothead:  

Not archery related per-say, but I needed to vent. (& scratch, rub me eyes, wipe me nose, cough, scratch again & bathe in calamine lotion, whilst drinking a cocktail of 20 year old scotch & Piriton)    :rolleyes:

Remember folks, if you're working with exotic hardwoods, wear a dustmask, goggles & gloves. And a hat. And probably a wetsuit  :D

Bet you don't do that again anytime soon. Hope it clears up for you soon. Put some calamine on it.

Is this a  "Normal"  Reaction to Cocobola? I know some of the Exotics will Irritate the Eyeballs and Breathing Apperati, but this Sounds like an  "Allergic Reaction"  to Me!!   :scared:    :scared:

Go get Benedril (sp?) it will ease the itch and help you heal up. But it will make you sleepy.

I'm still trying to figure out what Piriton is. Perdition? Pyrethrins? Partitions? Pyorrhea? Perrier?

(mixing 20 year old scotch...well, maybe it was lousy scotch to begin with!  "[dntthnk]"  20 years don't necessarily make something good. I know plenty of humans that old who could use some watering down!)

Piriton is an over the counter antihysthamine. Supposedly stops & helps allergic reactions.

The really wierd thing is that I've worked cocobolo many times in the past & had no reaction whatsoever. I just can't figure out why it's happened this time.
