Hey girls... I think I'm developing a severe allergy to the cyanoacrylate fumes... My nose is blocked every night after work and my eyes are so red... I wear a carbon mask and use a lash fan but it's not helping anymore... I love my job so much and don't want to quit... Has anyone successfully beaten this?
Oh babe, I am so sorry, lash flu is real and it sucks so bad! Please make sure your room has great ventilation (like an open window or an air purifier with a HEPA filter right next to you). Also, try putting a damp paper towel next to your glue stone to catch extra fumes. Take care of yourself!
I had the exact same issue last year... literally thought I had to quit lashing. I changed my setup and switched to a high-quality adhesive with fewer emissions.
