Hey everyone,
I have had a few health worries at the moment and contributed my occasional tightness of chest and breathing worries (these aren't that severe) to my anxiety but after speaking to one of my tutors at college she told me about this lung disease called "pneumonoconiosis" which is caused through inhalation of clay dust over a long period of time. I use clay a lot and our college has strict policies on cleaning up clay dust so we do not inhale it and I have followed all these precautions as has everyone else. However on a recent occasion I swept some of the dust and saw the particles fly into the air, so I'm more than sure that I inhaled it. I was with other people at the time so surely they must've as well. Now I'm thinking the dust has settled into my lungs and I'm going to be really ill. I am trying to reason with myself that it was a one off occasion and no one (including the tutor) said anything about it. :huh:
I just wondered if any one else works with clay and has swiped clay dust before and been okay?
Peace and love
