I worked 45 years around epoxies and some epoxies were worse then others for getting an allergy reaction. I saw some miner reactions and two major one. All were skin reactions. The major reactions included rash blistering in the scalp, mouth arms and hands and other parts of the body. Both did see skin specialist and had to quit working with epoxies. I never saw any flu like symptoms though.
