just call the doctor first thing in the morning

Post a pic here

Bruh im boutta go to the er i dont even have a doctor

Yeah i work @ rockwool few times a week and it happens. Wear a mask dumbass

n95 mask? how tf im about to get one of them

ERs suck ass generally....but good luck. prepare to sit for a little

Just any factory mask lol. They make yall work without one?

Mask ain’t protecting you from that?

Tbh I wasn't wearing it my whole shift lol.

Worked on factory and there was a locksmith workshop, if you stayed there without mask for longer than 5 minutes had the same s***. It’s micro metallic shavings probably

my place laid back idk at my workstation i keep it slid down under my chin on but if i walk up to someone or someone walks up to me i slide it on. coming within 6 feet of me, i wear one.

i think im not gonna go to the hospital, sounds like covid and high waiting time for no reason

If your factory is cutting metal this is fairly normal. It's just the aerosolized metal getting caught in the hairs of your nose.

Tbh it was my first day but yes it's stamping metal parts maqking them bend (atleast my department) but I know theres welders and stuff.

factory jobs WOAT

I mean, mine is cool, can listen to music, vibe out and just grind some money lol.

Man im fully packed with a mask (make sure to change em from time to.time), earbuds, hat (+ coverall depending on what type of work i have to do). Taking no risks at that dirty ass place

Yea it's not too bad then. If your planning on doing this job long term tho start wearing a mask. That metal can really f*** up your nasal passage

They should have you on a MINIMUM wearing some sort of dust mask.

Ideally you would be wearing a respirator with cartridges.

You have inhaled fine metal particles and shavings, not good at all.

OP probably about to lose his hearing too, these places loud as f*** too.

Imagine not wearing hearing protection.
Earbuds =/= ear plugs

They do have hearing protection and offer it. BUT I was at a concert called ''Lost Lands'' it was a 4 day festival and I took 1,000,000 watts to the ear in 2018 (no cap, it was so loud it was on the news and they had to lower it 2019) but anyways hearing isnt really a concern.

If I inhaled fine metal particales and shavings whats the worse that can happen? my chest is feeling kinda tight did it like cut my lungs or sum lol

You're taking your health and your life as a joke. I work in an industrial setting for a living, my hearing and lungs are still good because I always wear my PPE.

Basically it will increase your risk of lung cancer, bronchitis and anathema, also nervous system and kidney damage may result as well.

Even worse IF there is any grinding going on (pretty sure there is because you mentioned welders) you will develop silicosis.

Basically

"When you inhale the dust, silica particles scar your lungs, causing a disabling, irreversible, and incurable lung disease called silicosis."
Basically it might get to a point where you will die of lung failure later in life.

And about your hearing, I don't care if you where in a marine artillery battalion, you need to protect your hearing. Hearing damage is cumulative, which means once you realize you have damage it's too late

love yourself op
