My hands get dry turn white scalylike I've been using bleach without gloves, and crack when I quilt. I wear gloves when doing the quilting, but not when I cut or piece. Guess I will need to start wearing gloves to do those too. I do prewash my fab. though, but not 5 times.I have to use allergy makeup and can't be around hairspray, many many kinds of perfumes, colognes, cleaning things lots of different kinds of soaps and hand creames because of allergies. I get and instant headache when I am around some using the hand santizer stuff. Now for the craziest one of all, when I read some magazines and newspapers, I start sneezing and my eyes burn, from the ink used. Weird me!
