Protect yourself from fiberglass
Fiberglass insulation is notorious for its tendency to cause skin and eye irritation as well as respiratory ailments. To protect yourself from this irritant you should wear a long-sleeved shirt, gloves, goggles and a dust mask. When you’re done working, go outside and brush yourself off, then remove your clothes by turning them inside out. Wash your entire body and hair and apply lotion, especially to areas that feel itchy. Consult a medical professional if you feel a reaction such as itchiness, swelling or coughing. It’s always recommended to avoid this ordeal altogether and hire a professional for the job.
