Does anyone else have this problem? For the last 3-4 years I get either asthma-like or flu-like symptoms after I use super glues on models. Over this same period I've also developed GERD (acid reflux) problems, which are also probably aggravated by the fumes from the glues, and is probably adding to some of the side effects I experience.
I have switched to odorless, which doesn't seem as strong but seems to cause less after effects. I also try to use other glues when possible.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has gone through this seeming intolerance problem with cyanoacrylates. It's a bit frustrating dealing with it, but it beats the day or two after when I have a running nose and feel sick after using the glue. It always seems to come on a few hours after exposure to it.
PS-I'm sure that if I had a good ventilation system, that this probably wouldn't happen so severely, but that's difficult when in a small apartment, especially during winter. It's really been inhibiting my model building since it comes with punishment as a side effect!
