The MSDS would lead you to believe that it's pretty harmless stuff, but I have experienced the itch and the coughing associated with airborne fibers when I was building my bicycle. The itch is comparable to that from handling glass fiber insulation, but the cough is unbelievable. I have never coughed so hard in my life. It may not be carcinogenic, but it is most definitely nasty stuff. The most obvious and undeniable (read the MSDS) issue is the electrical conductivity of the loose fibers. Wrapping CF cloth around electrical/electronic equipment is begging for problems. Good luck!
