  Not sure if you guys haven’t ever actually worked with fiberglass, or are trying to make it sound significantly worse than it is to prove a point…

  No, you wash your hands after touching fiberglass, have a shower, and by the morning you won’t even realize your mistake. Itll be an itchy few hours, but its not gonna shred your hands, and it won’t cause permanent damage either.

  Your lungs will be a bit worse for wear, and you should wear gloves/respirator, but for a couple minutes or photo op or even to move around your own attic you’ll be fine.

    Life is permanent pain. Gloves and a mask has never helped me recover from life.

      Have you tried using the gloves and mask to commit burglary and/or other crimes against the systems of the rich and powerful?

  Lol, wtf? I’ve thrown around insulation so many times without gloves. No pain in my hands!

  I touched a load of fiberglass over the years from DIY and helping friends out. It never bothered my hands at all, it didn’t even make me itchy.
