Making miniature dollhouse and health hazards…?
I would like to know are there any miniaturist out there who had allergies, and yet is able to make these wonderful small craft despite their condition? Pls help, as I have allergies myself, but I really like miniature dollhouse.
Well, I have chronic sinusitis and bronchiatasis. I am not sure whether I am allergic to wood or the chemicals such as resin used in some of the stuff. But after learning for about a month, I am having sinus infection now. So it made me wonder as to whether making all these can caused allergies……..If you have allergies, how do you control it when you are making the dollhouse stuffs? Are there any ways for me to continue doing and also to lessen the allergies?
Don’t know if this will be the answer for you, but I have made several dollhouses and found that the ones made from MDF are MUCH better than the plywood ones. I made a plywood one, which had to be punched and sanded, and I had terrible scratchy throat from it….hated that dollhouse.
Also I notice when I use wood stain I get headaches from the smell.
Not sure if this helps, but thought I’d mention.
Good luck!
