Pre Processing Air Quality Hazards

Where can I find information explaining hemp, and hemp dust as an irritant? Is bud rot something to look out for? What skin conditions does this material exacerbate?

Thanks.

there is a little anecdotal stuff here…

haven’t looked for hard data. there might be some at this point. maybe

it’s not the same as other dust irritants, but treating it as such is a start. Certainly from a PPE perspective.

Are Fungi a problem? yes, more so for some that for others. as with pretty much everything.

exacerbate? As noted above, asthma.

certainly seen plenty of contact dermatitis

it rubs the lotion on it’s skin…cause it’s been packing tubes again

in this case the lotion is 1% hydrocortisone…

you’re also better off moving anyone who shows any sort of serious allergic reaction. I worked with a couple of grad students whose projects could literally have killed them they were so allergic to pollen!
