Just as it sounds, fiberglass is made up of little tiny glass fibers/threads. These can flake off and are easy to cause slivers in yours skin. They can also be breathed in – and as you can imagine, tiny glass threads in your lungs is not great. This is MOSTLY a problem for the workers at factories where these materials are being handled in large quantities before they are fully processed in the final product. But you should be careful when rummaging around in your attic/walls where there might be fiberglass insulation.
