Skin Irritation
One of the foremost symptoms of an allergy to waterproofing chemicals is skin irritation. This could manifest in forms such as redness, itchiness, rashes, or even blisters. The severity could range from mild to severe, depending on individual sensitivity and level of exposure.
Respiratory Distress
Exposure to waterproofing chemicals may cause symptoms affecting the respiratory system. Individuals may experience difficulty in breathing, coughing, running nose, wheezing, and chest tightness. These symptoms might point to an allergic reaction, particularly if there is no prior history of respiratory problems.
Eye Irritation
If the chemicals come in contact with eyes, it can cause severe irritation. Symptoms can include redness, itching, watering of the eyes, swelling of the eyelids, and blurred vision. Prolonged exposure may lead to more serious conditions such as chemical conjunctivitis or eye burns.
Nausea & Vomiting
Chemical fumes from waterproofing substances can cause nausea, vomiting or stomach upset. These gastrointestinal symptoms may occur following the accidental ingestion of these chemicals, or may be due to the inhalation of toxic fumes or an allergic reaction evoked by the chemicals.
Headaches & Dizziness
Exposure to certain waterproofing chemicals can cause neurological symptoms such as headaches or dizziness. This could be indicative of an allergic reaction to the chemicals especially if it occurs consistently following exposure.
Skin Discoloration
In some cases, exposure to waterproofing chemicals could result in skin discoloration or pigmentation changes. These may appear as darkened or lightened patches of skin, distinct from the normal skin color, and are indicative of a possible allergic reaction.
