I am here to tell you my allergy to creosote is my only allergy. But it is severe. I do not need to handle the stuff or get it on my clothes to get a rash, I just have to be standing next to a fresh pile and look out. On a hot very day when it is vaporizing and the fumes are very volital it is expecially bad. I am more concerned about inhalation than skin reaction fortunatly I've never had an inhalation overexposure. When CSX was replacing the timber trestle though our park in Harpers Ferry WV I was impressed with the workmanship of the construction of the cresoted bents and stringers but man I could not even imagine me doing that. (as much as I love trestle construction) I would have probably would have become a 6'3" rash. Like I said in my earlier post. Cresote has probably the number one thing that has kept me off railroad property especially bridges in almost 30 years of railfanning.
