Fiberglass

by isaacs6, Apr 22, 2007 12:00AM
Unsure if this is the right spot but i figured i would put it here as i was drunk when it happened. I picked up a sign last night, not knowing it was made of fiberglass and i got a large amount of fiberglass in my hands. It hurts when i rub them together a certain way. I cant see the fiberglass in my hands but it hurts.

Wondering what my options are here. Will it just go away in a few days? It is livable with it, not like im in intense pain but just wondering health wise.

Call your doctor and research it online!

Once the slivers of fiberglass become slightly infected you might be able to see them better to remove them.  
My advice
Don't rub your hands together.
See if a friend with a magnifying glass can see them
Or wait till they become a little inflamed/infected and they should pop out then
