Ridged insulation inhalation during construction project: Any way to mitigate the after-effects in lungs?

I wore a mask while removing insulation from my home last month, but I know that I breathed the stuff in anyway, so I assume that it is already n my lungs. Any way known to get that stuff out of there? Foods? Exercises? Medical procedures? Drugs?

I feel fine now, by the way; I just worry about the future.

I have these red bumps they look like mosquito bites?

Answers:
You've done only the one place and as long as you were dressed properly and wore a mask you will probably be fine. They make disposable coveralls if you intend to do this again and you should consider something better then safety glasses to cover your eyes such as goggles.

This is one of those questions you may want to consider asking prior to doing your next job like describing the ventilation, amount of work as well as type of material.

You should see a physician for a chest X-ray. If you wore a mask, you probably minimized your exposure. However, exposure to fiberglass can cause severe lung damage over time. Anti-oxidants may help your body remove some of the material, but in the long run if there is too much exposure you run and increased cancer risk and surgery may be the only help. Either way, following up on it now will decrease the risk of developing severe problems later.
