Hi

    Get an MSDS from the school on Merlins gold, whatever that is.
    Sounds like a brass that mimics gold for teaching. Silver solder does
    not ordinarily contain nickel at least when we at PMWest make it. I
    would be surprised if anyone else uses it. Asthma in my wife's
    experience is tough to shake, even after the exposure to an irritant
    is over with. 

    A bunch of things in a shop could annoy your lungs with asthma.
    About any metal or chemical fume at all. Asthma is easily triggered I
    think.
