I know when I handle fabric a lot at work my hands get really dry and such. Cracked and hurting. Burlap really is bad on my hands. I wash my hands asap after dealing with it.[/quote]
I itch just thinking about burlap. I worked in fabrics at WM about 25 yrs ago and I couldn't cut it. Had to find someone to cut it for me. I also had bronchitis 3-4 times a yr. Doc said that was also fabric related from the lint. Another reason to wash.
