I went into my attic once and I shudder to think what I’d feel if the insulation up there was glass fiber. I sort of tripped up there.

For the same reason, optic fiber terrifies me. Microscopic glass needles embedding themselves into your skin.

    Ever since learning, as a kid, that insulation is microscopic needles of glass, I see it with the same disgust as seeing parasites. Same disgust of microscopic things invading your body and causing damage and not leaving..

    I cannot believe people are such absolute pussies these days. "GOSH! I touched fiberglass once and I might DIE!" I fucking swam in it when I was a cable guy. Know what I did? Went home midday to shower and change clothes. It was fucking horrible.

    Your sense of risk is so fucking skewed it's pathetic.

    I’ve obviously never been in contact with fiber glass insulation so I don’t know the risks besides the pictures here. Nonetheless the dangers of bare fiber optics glass contact are still dangerous which is where I draw my source of caution.

    Also get a life, you are jumping to outrage over Internet comments
