Skin Irritation
One of the first symptoms of a thermal insulation materials allergy is often skin irritation. People affected may notice redness, itching, or even blistering on exposed skin, such as the hands, arms, or face.
Eye Irritation
Materials like fiberglass or mineral wool can cause eye irritation if they come into contact with the eye area, leading to redness, itching and watering. Severe cases may lead to a painful condition known as keratitis.
Respiratory Issues
People who are allergic to thermal insulation materials may experience respiratory symptoms if they inhale particles or fibers. This can result in coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath and a tight feeling in the chest.
Nasal and Sinus Problems
Nasal and sinus problems are common in people who are allergic to certain kinds of thermal insulation materials. They might experience runny nose, nasal congestion, sinus pressure and even sinus infections.
Allergic Dermatitis
Repeated skin contact with thermal insulation materials can lead to a chronic skin condition called allergic dermatitis. Symptoms include severe itching, redness, swelling, and blisters that may ooze or crust over.
General Allergic Reaction
In severe instances, a generalized allergic reaction may occur. This could include symptoms like hives, swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, and in the worst case, anaphylaxis, a potentially life-threatening reaction.
