I'm particularly affected by galvanized metals
since then I seem to have had these adverse reactions to welding fumes which I never remember having before.
Does anyone else regularly go to such lengths to protect themselves from working?
Many thanks

Hi George,
We are indestructible until we aren't.
Sensitivity increases with exposure.
Galvanized will give you "zinc chills" if you breathe the smoke from welding it. Drink lots of milk to neutralize it.
Wear good breathing protection, good enough that you cannot smell the smoke from burning primers, or solvents.
Take the precautions now, even when those around you have not learned the life lessons, yet.
Stay healthy, for youthful vigor does not last forever.
