Chronic Exposure

I do that quite often for years with very little to no foot fungus. Before I was scratching the skin off my feet on the daily.

Take a look at this Steve. Tartrazine Intolerance.

Tartrazine is the food coloring, Yellow #5. I'm "allergic" to it, and I've have had the same symptoms as you. Rash on ankles and feet, and even the neck a few times, right underneath the ear muffs area. Originally thought it was the leather tanning process in the boots too. Turns out when the yellow 5 builds up in your system, and you have the intolerance, it rears its ugly head through rashes that appear in areas with trapped sweat like underneath the boots, and for me, at its worst, from sweat around the ear muffs. An allergist/dermatologist gave me some paperwork on it when I showed him the symptoms. He told me about another patient who thought he was allergic to working out due to the rashes he got afterwords. Turns out he drank a bunch of Gatorade.

The good thing is, once you know what's causing the reaction, you can eliminate it completely from your diet, or just cut back drastically, and the problems disappear. Beware though, yellow 5 is in tons of stuff. Gatorades with yellow coloring (or their competitors), Doritos, Fritos, lemonades with artificial color, mountain Dew, Mello yellow, gummy bears, fake Mac and cheese, and the list goes on and on.

Wow that's nuts. That is. I'll read about it while I piss on my feet! All joking aside I've heard about the pee thing also.

Hey man, just try cutting back on some of those things. FWIW, the artificial colors (most of which are made from coal tar) have been banned in most of Europe, so there's something to it, and of course the U.S. is behind the times on fixing it.

Try changing to colors without yellow or find stuff without artificals. My big deal was Gatorade. Now I drink the Cool Blue instead of the Yellow, and I treat myself to some of the other stuff on the list, but I won't eat it all the time - knowing that it will build up in my system.

You asked, "Does anyone suffer from any rashes or skin issues due to chronic long term exposure to saw dust or anything like that? I seem to get a reoccurring rash in the top of my foot." and my answer is, "Yes." Had the exact same thing bro, and now no more rashes for me man. I think it's worth 2-week try, no?

Ummm...my exact words when the doc suggested it. But the proof's in the pudding...and hopefully that puddin' ain't got no yeller #5. :) I was very skeptical at first, as I usually am about this kind of thing, but it has worked for me. The FDA approves all kinds of weird stuff as "healthy" for human consumption. They have a limited timeframe to test a new chemical for health issues. Sometimes the problems aren't easy to see, they affect only certain people, and the ambiguous symptoms show over a long period of time. And why do the companies keep using the chemicals when they know people have reactions to them? Because it's much cheaper and easier for them than the alternative.

My wife deals with similar skin outbreaks as what you are describing. Sometimes they occur seemingly at random, and stay for a while. Generally there is some initial irritant. Dander, pollen, some shit we don't know about. Then stress will make the patches flare like a bastard if they are already there. And between kids, no money, school, and hassling with my ignorant ass. Woman deals with a muncha buncha stress.

The weird thing is that her break outs aren't generally contact related. She just has these spots that she breaks out in like clock work, whenever she encounters an allergen or reactive, or whatever you wanna classify it as. We go to my moms, and my wife has to deal with breathing in all that pet dander, sure enough the specific areas break out wether they were exposed or not.

Fwiw.

Sounds EXACTLY like my wife. She breathes in cat dander and it surfaces as a rash, and her reaction seems to be worse the more stress she deals with.

She uses Triamcinolone acetonide cream, seems to help a lot, you need a prescription, and I think it was $150 a tube.
 
Try canola oil for saw oil. No complaints with bars below 24 inches. I use 1/2 and 1/2 above 24". You will get hungry every time you saw something.

Look into your laundry soap and dryer sheets. Lots of chemicals. there are some nice alternatives out there.

Rash - Look into activated charcoal (coconut type). Might help on a exterior draw. Possible Salt water bath with epsom or Himalayan salt.

Probiotics should help.

Foot fungus - Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar. Topical application. Stings like heck but stops it on the first application.
 
Tree logic. I don't doubt you. I read what you sent and I'll give it a shot. I eat very few of those items on the list but I'm gonna start looking at what I eat

Tree frog. Vinegar is the universal elixir. I'm gonna try that. How long does it sit on there? Just let it dry?

Yeah my wife had to use it steady for years, now she just has to use it every once in a while now.
