I work in a law office and part of my job is to process client documents pertaining to their case (scan everything into pdf) and send it to the attorney. Today a client brought in a box of documents and I started processing them. The documents were in bad shape. Many looked water logged. It took about 2 1/2 hours to process everything. About an hour in I started breaking out in hives and my eyes got red and started to swell. I finished processing everything anyway and warned the legal assistant not to handle the documents without gloves and long sleeves. Now I’m itching like crazy and my right eyelid is very swollen. This probably won’t happen again, but if it does, how do I protect myself knowing if I don’t do it someone else in the office will have to. TIA!
