allergic reactions to me

[cursedtoo]

There are 3 threads on the patient-to-patient forums dealing with people who cause others to have allergic type reactions to them. These reactions include coughing, sneezing, throat clearing and itchy noses. There may or may not be an odor involved, opinions vary. These symptoms have been present for many years in some of us and follow us on vacations and to new residences. It does not appear to be related to scented products used since the symptoms persist after changing brands and usage altogether. Assuming we're not all paranoid, please provide any information or explanation
for this troubling and debilitating situation. The 3 threads (please check into them!) are:

This is indeed a difficult question and one that is not so easy to quantify.  There are no good data to describe what it is about an individual that might cause others to react, that come from external sources.  It is not clear how to address this problem, when no good explanation of the reaction is present.  It is clear that is occurring to some people and I would suggest working with a local board certified allergist to try to determine causality and preventative action.
