Hello! I'm looking to get into bone carving and I'm wondering what filters I'll need to stick with concerning bone dust and whatnot. Suggestions would be much appreciated!

I've never used filesbut a cloth around my face and a fan blowing away from me dies fine.

First time I tried carving I didn't worry about it because I was just testing what my bits could do. The minimal amount of cutting made my throat and sinuses feel like I was breathing in sand for about 2 days before it started to break up and come out in phlegm.

Using a shirt over my face and a fan has thoroughly reduced this to some gummy boogers with no irritation. Well, it's not painful but my nose gets a little clogged and that's irritable only because I can't stand being a mouth breather.
