[Histonet] Thanks!

[Reuel Cornelia]

This was a good discussion and a some little rough comment  but we learn from it. I have read all the feedback on xylene and its substitute and it  gives us a lesson to become more better histotechs. Just this morning one of our administrator passed by near our processor while my co worker has just opened the processor retort for cleaning and smelled xylene in the air. He stopped and asked us why he was not using a mask while doing that. I replied that was only a minimal amount of xylene in the retort that was left after the cleaning cycle and he said well I just want to make sure of your safety. When we are so used of the smell sometimes we do not think of our Safety and this discussion taught us again to think first of our own Safety whether you are sensitive or not to xylene or any chemical.
To shelly, I wish your employee the best and all success in the field of histology.

Hi all,
I wanted to thank all of you who responded to my question about my xylene-sensitive employee and purchase of an air filter system.  I got tons of terrific information and enjoyed the discussion about xylene substitutes.  Those who responded gave me a lot to think about and raised some questions for me to have answered.

It's wonderful to have access to all of you experts on the listserv!  Thank you for your generosity.

Regards,
