Fibre Glass insulation and Tank Water

I am not a doctor and so I only have antidotal information about insulation batts effecting Human health but I can give you this information and let you make up your own mind.

1. Firstly I had one worker (Andrew) years ago that every time we did a insulation batt job he would come up in a very angry red rash on any exposed skin that came into contact with the batts. He actually only had to touch the batts to his skin once and he would get a rash. Now just about everyone I know in the years who works with insulation batts Calls them "itchy wool" because it is well known that they make you itchy. However everyone is different and so some people get more itchy than others. There is a whole range and obviously andrew had it bad, so much so that in the end he would only work with me on Cellulose fibre insulation jobs because cellulose does not make you itchy.

2. I have meet two builder over the years one that just did the batt installation himself and one that did Anticon blanket, both of these builder told me that they were coughing up blood in the morning and that doctors told them that it was related to the fibreglass batt fibres. Now their is no evidence that I know of but it is interesting that even the manufacturers used to put cancer warnings on their roof insulation batt packs a long time ago.

3. Another thing that is not thought about is that my wife banned me from washing my uniforms with any other cloths after doing a Fibre glass batt insulation removal. The reason was that she noticed the kids scratching their skin after washing my uniforms with the kids cloths and she thought it was related to the particles of glass contaminating the kids clothing. Now kids have sensitive skin and it may have been true but in either case it was a simple thing for us to not wash my cloths at the same time any more.

4. There is lots of articles on the internet saying it is harmless but there are also lots of well searched stories about people who have seemingly indefensible stories of how insulation batts caused their own death from cancer.

I also don't understand how any products being made from Glass could be considered bio soluble, put it in the comments if you know but as far as I know glass or sand is not soluble at all. That is why Oysters form pearls and why fake Eyes used to be made of glass. My only other comment here is that when there is far better insulations on the market why would you risk putting your families health at risk for the sake of a few dollars saved on roof insulation. Just install Cellulose Fibre insulation in your roof and you do not need to worry about health risks.
