Being a carpenter for many years, I have experienced minor symptoms using PT, but luckily I have never experienced the other symptoms you have stated.<br /><br />I have always been careful when handling and working with PT along with explaining to my customers the dangers of PT and how they should avoid allowing their children and pets from laying and sitting on decking.<br /><br />It sounds to me that you are hyper-sensitive to Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA-C), and maybe should re-think rapping your house in this material.<br /><br />In addition, Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA-C), is very corrosive to regular fasteners. It is recommended that you use either Stainless Steel or hot dipped galvanize fasteners otherwise you will have trouble with product failure.<br /><br />If I misunderstood your post, never mind but I enjoy your Blog. My family and I are planning on moving to the foothills of the Ozarks and building our own home. Keep building, you are an inspiration to all that want to live in something they built themselves.Joseph, Father of Fivehttp://echocarewoodworking.comnoreply@blogger.com
