Yes I will post back what I find out from my doctor. Also the heating company is the one who caused the separation from cleaning my ducts after the furnace was installed. They are liable and scheduled a free cleaning and new filter at no cost. I have a lot of clean up to do which I am sure they will not pay for. As for others in the home, it is just myself and three dogs.

Some (many) times, "the squeaky wheel" gets results. In your shoes, I would speak politely but firmly to the head of the company. If they are a reputable business, they have insurance to cover just such circumstances, and you need to press for them to take care of it.
If it is fiberglass or vermiculite insulation, special precautions need to be taken in the cleanup as these are both a lung irritant, but also a physical one. If it is "rock wool" it is still a lung irritant in its dust state.
Please be proactive and get this cleaned up according to accepted protocols to protect you and your pets.
