Dealing with itchy pink nightmare in my attic

The baby powder trick is clever, never heard of that one before. I usually just go full hazmat mode—disposable coveralls, gloves, goggles, respirator...the works. Looks ridiculous but saves days of misery. Did you guys try barrier creams at all? Curious if they're worth the hassle.

Barrier creams can be hit or miss, honestly. Last time I tackled insulation, I went the full suit route like you did—felt a bit like a scene from Breaking Bad, lol. But I experimented with barrier cream on my wrists and neck where the suit tends to gap. It definitely reduced irritation there, but I wouldn't rely on it alone. Probably worth having around as extra protection for spots your gear doesn't fully cover...but don't ditch the hazmat just yet.
