Hi guys yeah I have been doing some research and you can build up an allergy to sawdust over time and WRC is an irritant so it said on this site I was looking on.

I have a tree book somewhere will have to dig it out and see what it says just wondering if anybody on here had developed an allergy to WRC or any timber after yrs of using it

Hi guys have any of you heard of anybody developing an allergy to WRC , I have been using it on and off for yrs but yesterday by the time I got home both my fore arms were bright red itchy as F##K and lumpy defo an allergy and apart from a new British Bulldog and I have always had dogs ,I can’t think of anything else that I might be allergic to . Cheers Mark
