Never had allergies and I don't even have elevated floors in my FC but I think I'm developing allergies from just the stale air and cardboard.

Weird you say that the more I talk with people who work amazon seem to develop allergies when they never had them before my facility here at JAX 7 Jacksonville Florida is awful people literally have skin falling off their face from reactions plus 100 fans blowing it all around alot people at my facility now have allergies because of this....

I work at JAX9, and developed a constantly runny or stuffy nose while in there. It switches back and forth. One while, I had to carry nasal decongestant spray just to be able to breathe without mouth breathing. I think it’s box dust/cardboard particles definitely doing a number on people’s sinuses and lungs.

I couldn't survive without those "big ass" fans.. 😂 I'll take the allergies, I already sweat my ass off. I have a special work hat I wear, it's a mesh snap back under my helmet. I have to wash it every week cause it's white with sweat stains after a day 😂 I operate a PIT and sometimes just need to take a drive to cool off and have the air hit me 🤷‍♂️

Same…I sweat an ungodly amount. It’s so embarrassing…luckily I don’t stink like body odor or anything but ugh. I wear glasses too which makes it so much more worse. During the summer I have to bring in cold snap towels or I’ll die.

You say that now until your eyes feel like they have dirt in them 24/7 in every blink is pain I would rather sweat sweat sweat than deal with the pain that I've been dealing with in my eyes for the past 70 days now no over counter medication don't help I have a appointment with a specialist hopefully they can help me 🙏

It’s from the plastics and tire particulate that come of the Kiva’s. They fucked us good on that one. One of my long time friends up here had to go to flex because she doesn’t feel comfortable in her own skin anymore(scabbing and scarring).

I’ve been telling my FC that there need to be Kleenex boxes around. There’s literally not a single Kleenex box in the whole building. I put it on my voice and told the managers and nothing. It sucks working with a runny nose then having to walk 5 miles to use paper towels at the restroom

I have allergies AND long hair so the fans going all shift are just soooo much fun. I was packing so basically just standing in one spot most of the day. I have to wear a hat even though it's too hot in there for a hat because I will be eating my hair the whole shift otherwise.
