    I'll second that. And I can say from personal experience that repeat
    exposure will just make matters worse in that your allergy reaction
    will become more and more severe. 

    I made the mistake of ignoring these reactions when I first started
    working with exotic woods and learned the hard way that that was a
    bad idea. 

    Take these woods seriously folks, they're not kidding when they list
    the dusts from them as "irritants". 

Cheers,
