Default RE: CA protection

It took me a few times to piece this together, but I finally realized that every time I build a model with CA, I get what feels like bronchitis, a cough, and a head cold. During the winter, I just figured I was getting sick, but this weekend I was working on a Guillows P-51 and the same thing happened again. I am getting a respirator before I work on it anymore.

PS - I know that these Guillows kits only cost $8 , but this one had the furriest, crumbliest balsa I have ever seen. One sheet was so dark that you could barely see the outlines and when you touched it with a knife, it just crushed. For a few minutes, I actually considered tossing the whole mess into the trash, but I pressed on, and came out with a respectable looking fuselage. I'm going to wait until I get a respirator before I start the wings. I am afraid to use a fan, because I'll blow the parts all over the place.
