According to the CDC, fiberglass exposure can cause irritation to the skin, nose, mouth, and throat. Additionally, fiberglass can lead to red, itchy eyes, stomach pain, skin rashes, and a sore throat.
A common misconception with fiberglass is that it can cause long-term respiratory issues and even cancer, but no evidence supports this claim. Fiberglass symptoms are usually only present when you’re in contact with it but go away once you’re no longer in contact with the fiberglass.
