People are allergic to me too

I had read that someone had a similar problem to mine. Within a few minutes of entering a room, people begin coughing and/or sneezing.(By the way, it's always 2 coughs in a row.) I am not sick at all but everyone around me becomes sick upon meeting me. Doctors have told me that it's just allergy season, but this has been going on for a couple years! Besides the endless coughing and sneezing, other symptoms that people develop include: itching around the eyes and nose, acne (on face and neck), sores on the outer lips, and fatigue. I feel alone and am making myself an outcast from society.  This feels like an airborn virus but besides the dermatological aspect, I do not feel sick at all. I wish someone could help me. Any suggestions would help.

I'm 14 years old and I too make people cough, sneeze, clear their throats and drink water. This all started when I was 12 years old. I was in my spanish class and I was having an emotional crisis and then suddenly I started noticing people coughing around me. At first I didn't think of it seriously. But, the next day I heard it again and I had this weird feeling that they were coughing because of me. Now I make people do all kinds of weird things like burping, breathing hard, sniffle, lip smacking, yawning, etc. I have this weird feeling that every time I go out of my mind people start coughing. I feel like I give people some kind of tension that forces them to cough. My pyscologist thinks Im paranoid. My doctor doesn't even know that this condition has a name. And I suffered through misophonia and depression for 2 years.... please help me!!! or give me a reply!!!
I'm sick and tired of listening to coughing all my life!!!!

For real. This kind of thing happens. It happens to me. When I go to a place everyone sneezes and people call for fresh air and the like. It is really causing psychological problem and affecting my progress in life. I sometimes feel suicidal.

Really? So you think people coming up to you and telling you that
1. you should die because you smell so bad,
2. or someone coming up to you and telling you that you smell like raw sewage,
3. or someone coming up to you and telling you that you smell like dead body.
4. or someone coming up to you and telling you that you should go to the bathroom.
5. or someone turning towards you and saying out loud that you smell "weird"
6. or your boss pulling you in conference room, and telling you how to wipe your *** clean and washing it and bathing it,
7. YOUR WIFE TELLING YOU HOW YOU SMELL BAD? AND YOUR BREATH IS ROTTEN?

OR

1. poeple holding their noses when you enter (room, car, bus, train)
2. people start coughing/sneezing/getting allergic reactions as soon as you enter (room, car, bus, train), but stopping as soon as you get a certain distance away, and you can test this by doing multiple entrances and exits
YOUR WIFE TELLING YOU THAT HER, AND MY SONS  ALLERGIES CLEAR UP WHEN I AM NOT THERE

IS A MENTAL HALUCINATION? WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO RECROD THIS ON A CAMERA AND SHOW IT TO YOU?

I have the same problem - I make other people and myself sneeze. It usually occurs when I'm nervous. My current theory is that stomach acid is causing my stomach lining to become more porous causing possibly bacteria (or something else) to enter the bloodstream and be excreated through the sweat pores. This "foreign" substance then irritates other people's nasal passages. Before I also gave off a fecal smell and found giving up sugar reduced this quite a lot (and also solved my irratable bowl syndrome). The sneezing problem went away for a while but then around Easter I had a few chocolate eggs and it came back and didn't go away when I gave up sugar again. The thing with sugar is that some people don't obsorb it properly and it possibly feeds bacteria or candida in the intestines.

I have the same problem.  I was in a facility the other day and the man next to me started coughing so hard that he had to get up and walk away.  I have been very angry with God. I lost my job of four in half years because I believe HR was just receiving too many complaints.  Anybody that sat near me got sick (coughing, sneezing, runny noses).  A company is not going to put its employees in harms way.  I too have gone to numerous doctors w/o a solution.  I was tested for many diseases including AIDS and tuberculosis, negative.  I have had the health department test my home for mold, positive.  I gave the landlord the ppw from the health department.  He pulled up carpet and treated whatever was underneath it in the bedrooms.  I think the main problem is in the bathroom.  Many times when people walk in my bathroom, they start sneezing including me.  Know matter how much I clean, it has this weird smell.  I will make another complaint to the landlord (Im a little nervous because this is costing him money) because he really didnt do anything to that room.  I will have to get over my fear because this could be what cost me my job.  Also, I do no want the next tenant to go through this.  So, wish me luck and will definately keep all of you in my prayers.
