PCL

I stumbled on this site after trying to figure out the cause of a rash, with raised red spots, that seemed to be developing wherever the cuffs and collars of my clothes met my skin. Obviously, there was reason to suspect my laundry, but I've always washed everything in hot water with not detergent (I only use soap on spots), so normally clothes don't bother me. Anyway, it turns out that I had to cut a fairly large box wrench in half with a hacksaw last week and the clothes that I was wearing all went into the wash at once. I can only guess that the dust that got into my jeans migrated into everything else; it was an awkward job, so I was constantly changing positions to avoid muscle cramps. I can only hope that the dust will work its way out of everything and the rash goes away. Meanwhile, aloe hand sanitizer seem to reduce it, as does Ben Gay; even rubbing alcohol seems to help. Thanks for all the information.
