CS does act as a mild irritant and promotes mucus flow like a mild expectorant, hence cleaning. Sheet rock dust is fairly inert but will grow green stuff if it's wet and other nutrients become absorbed by it. Aromatic wood dust is especially nasty. Just a ceder or cyprus saw dust particle 'floating' into your eye will produce an infection or sty. CS killed the infection in 1 1/2 days, but I still have a small cyst where a piece of Cyprus dust got into my eye and became lodged there. The eye doc said it would eventually grow through the lid. The aromatics don't absorb water and become soft and easily expelled like pine. The oils are an irritant. Fir is also a danger and is used for trim quite a lot. [despite being notorious for nasty hard sharp brittle infective splinters] The harder woods make a finer dust.
I'd guess that inhaling CS would help a bit. The mask ain't a bad idea regardless...pain in the buttocks though. ode [also a carpenter / remodeler] At 02:34 PM 4/12/2004 -0400, you wrote: >I have used CS in a nebulizer (along with MSM and a small amount of DMSO) to treat asthma very successfully in my sister.

My father is a carpenter who has inhaled fumes, saw dust, sheet rock dust, etc...for almost 40 years. Just recently he has had trouble breathing and needs to wear a mask on the job site to get through the day. He has serious congestion in the lungs from these foreign substances that are affecting his lungs. My initital thought would be that CS wouldn't be able to help here because it is not bacteria/fungus related, but I am not sure. Could the foreign substances be allowing bacteria/fungus to prosper thus causing the congestion.
