We moved into a new home five years ago and our upstairs storage area (unfinished) was partially insulated. This storage area connects to our youngest child's bedroom and clothing closet. In other words, you go through his room, closet and then the storage area is at the end. All areas are separated by doors. The area inside the door of the storage area did not have insulation when we moved in and my husband requested the builder apply some to properly insulate. Of course it was done last minute with probably not the most qualified person. That area was always a concern because it connected to the children's room and I was worried they might mess with it. One night while dad was babysitting, it happened. The yellow "certainteed" rolled insulation is facing up the children somehow entered the locked storage area and played with the insulation. They did not know what it was and pulled a chunk off and rubbed it on their skin and got the itchies. I was so scared and called poison control and dealt with the immediate concern. The drama was short-lived but I was very shaken, mad at my hubby and concerned about long term effects. I still worry about the exposed insulation because I go in and out of the area sometimes to retrieve items from storage. My hubby thinks I'm too worried but I'm wondering if that area around the door should have stayed un-insulated and maybe we need to consider an alternative. Is it safe to go in and out of and should I be worried about the exposure my children experienced? Thanks for listenting
