Rash from fiberglass insulation?

The New-Test Forum - Hives

FromTo
My son has broke out in a rash each time we have visited my parents cottage that is partially under construction. The basement has fiberglass insulation on the studded walls. My concern is that the fiberglass particals may have got into the air or couch and are irritating his skin at each visit. Benedryl has helped somewhat, but the rash persists. Hydrocoritsone 1% cream and frequent lubrication over the following week helps to clear the skin.
Are you familiar with this sort of issue with fiberglass insulation? I am hoping this is the problem, because it would be a relatively easy cure, finish the basement with drywall.
They do have a lake there also, but his rash started before we got in the lake this last week end.
Thank you for your help!		Concerned Father
