I turn quite frequently and any of the darker hardwoods such as  cocobolo, 
mahogony, redwood, and most of the exotics can be very reactive to the  skin 
and 
lungs. Use a turners smock with long sleeves or at least a plastic  apron 
with a long sleeved shirt. Always wear eye protection and at least a dust  mask 
(I use an air powered respirator). Hope this helps a bit.
