I developed an allergy to wood dust recently, Cocobolo being the worst. I get a burning rash in all of the skin areas that fold, eyelids, armpits, crotch behind my ears, and around my neck. The same spots every time. I curb the sawdust with a shop vac attached to the saws, a fan box with a furnace filter that runs all the time I am working, latex gloves all of the time, and a decent dust mask and long sleeve shirts. That is the only way I can do wood work short of taking shots.
