Wargamming is killing me!

So it turns out I am sensitive or allergic to toulene in glue. I am one of those who react strongly to certain glues which produce short term asthma syptoms or brochiospasms. For some it takes over 8 hours to produce reactions, though for lucky me it is only about 2 to three hours. Kept wondering why I was wheezing and at one point spitting blood. Didn't know this hobby was soo hard core it could seriously mess me up. At least it only took a year to figure out.

sorry to hear that

Don't be, I am not stopping. The Emperor wouldn't.

luckily i have a tough system
i have some degreaser at work that i use to strip models with that can take 3 layers of rustolem spraypaint off in under 30 mins and i can just soak my hands in them with out nothing more then dry hands

Oddly enough something similar happened to me a week or two ago, though not as serious as Jose.

Found out that the resin in the epoxy that I use to put together my metal minis can cause an allergic reaction, I was using it a lot the day before to put together my big-ass Gorebull, I woke up the next day to find my right eye had swollen shut, as well as hives. Wasn't serious, but still warranted a visit to the urgent care clinic.

You deserve the Hardcore Gamer award, if i could find one. Spitting blood and saying fuck it, i'll keep playing is pretty epic.

Stop huffing paint and model glue Jose.

Yeh, you suppose to put on the model, not under your nose.

Smoke pot! It's better, it's organic and it's GREEN!
