Toxic epoxy---liver rejuvenation.

[gordon stelter]

Yes, Isaac, epoxy is certainly far more toxic than any
kind of Titebond, and this should certainly be a
consideration when choosing to use it, or another
glue.
I don't think it creates an "allergy", per-se, but,
like carbon monoxide, has cumulative effects that can
cause extreme sensitivity to itself, and other
chemicals as well. This is called "Multiple Chemical
Sensitivity", and is a very real condition!
     The best way to treat MCS is to stimulate the
liver ( vinegar, cayenne, ginger, garlic, lemon juice,
milk thistle extract )Grape fruit juice is also
excellent.  And drink pure water and get plenty of
fresh air. Sleeping with the windows open helps!
