Elly-
That makes sense!!! I have HUGE allergies to molds!!!! The clay =
company had NO ideas! I figured out by myself that obviously that more =
surface contact of me came into contact with the clay on the wheel and =
that's why I reacted so severely there... But, after that, I went =
blank!!! I feel much better now. It's been bothering me for awhile. I =
really like red clay and would like to "try" handbuilding at least =
again, but am REALLY afraid of the allergic reaction. Every time the =
reaction gets more serious. So, I don't know whether it's worth the =
risk. I work at a local rec center so I can't ask them to get another =
clay. I can perhaps get my own if it's the same cone etc...
Thanks for your info!!
Hugs and Prayers,
Mary in OH

Possibly a variety of mold grows more or better in the presence of iron.

If the reaction is related to breathing in mold spores, you might try using
a respirator. Obviously, if it is a skin reaction, that won't help.
