The Fiberglass Itch
The first symptom is just some minor skin irritation. There’s no reason why, even days into it, you wouldn’t think it was a minor case of poison iridiak or some mogwat bites. But by the end of the first month, it gets into the blood. By then, the rash is gone. Friends and family won’t know why you’re acting weird. It tweaks you slightly.
It’s why so many insulation installers on the station had spaced themselves. They get the itch and whatever it is, in the blood, makes them think the vacuum is as comfortable as a big fluffy pillow.
