I did do an extensive search and it mostly said that irritation of eyes, nose, lungs etc would be main short term effects so we have tried to be as careful as possible. Masks are now in use as are gloves. I think having a chest infection may well have helped. Plus we drove over 500 miles with it all in the car (windows open) although the worst stuff had been bagged and put away and covered with a blanket so we did try our best.
Nowadays everything kills you so......here's hoping it's not this find of my life. Bloody typical if it is.
Thanks though Jim as I say, fingers crossed we masked most of the harmful stuff and will live long enough to spend my (hopeful) profits before I toddle off. I think when it is clean it will be perfectly safe but will keep it in secure and clean storage as the plaque smell is pretty strong (as I said) when all together which makes sense. Anyway I'm waffling again, sorry.
