Just been working on the bike and for the first time in 25 years I've ended up with itchy skin. Had oil and grease all over arms/fore arms, gave a quick squirt of paraffin to clean oil off, then washed with fairy liquid and plenty of water like I usually do, but skin on fore arm and wrist is driving me crazy. What do you lot use?

I developed an irritation to Hydraulic fluid and engine oil after years of being around it. Just tend to try and keep it off me as much as possible (ie.rubber glubs) and washing as soon as possible.

This for me usually keeps it at bay but when it does itch I pile on the Eurax cream.

It's like anything, they can just happen. I never used to be allergic to pollen and then one day I was.

I always wear rubber gloves at work, if i'm going to be in the trade for a while my hands are the things that do the work and unlike tools cannot be replaced.

I havent tried rubber glubs yet though.... Laughing

It could just be an allergic reaction, just pop an antihistimine and it should be fine. Thumbs Up

Hence Diesel engines don't use spark plugs.

diesel is inflammable, it requires a wick to burn

petrol is flammable, it can sustain itself.

this is caused by the length of hydrocarbon chain, and volotility (sp?)


Smart arse. Laughing
