Flour dust allergy.
Ive been a professional baker for 28 years and am passionate about my job. However I today suffered an asthma attack due to using rye flour, which I fortunately have hardly ever used. But today I started a new job knowing that there would be some rye flour usage so wore a disposable dust mask to help protect me. Unfortunatey it didn't work and I was very unwell and quite scared. I was wondering if anyone has similar issues with flour and can recommend a good fool proof mask. Otherwise I may need to leave the job. Thanks in advance.
