A Serious Warning

A horrible incident occurred this morning. I feel it should be shared with all, to spare some other innocent victim from the same unfortunate fate. The morning started off as a normal, somewhat predictable one. There was the usual Saturday cleaning/organizing to be done after a long work week. I was about to vacuum and I suggested that Burt dust, as he had done it with success on one other occasion .We went to work. Everything seemed fine, really. I mean this came out of nowhere. Suddenly Burt stumbled into the room. He appeared blinded and was blinking wildly seemed somewhat dazed and confused. I was horrified. I thought ..what is it?? Stroke? Something wrong with his heart? He finally regained his senses and was able to convey the problem. It was dust in his eyes. Obviously this is a hazard that has gone on too long with little or no attention. I pray that others will learn from this and take the appropriate precautions to prevent this kind of thing from EVER happening to them. Goggles and a face mask might be some easy steps to take just to stay on the safe side. Don't let the same senseless tragedy that Burt endured happen to you.
