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.

For the people that have the problem of people sneezing around them. I had this problem for a year. I have found the problem. Contrary to what is stated earlier.

I am 18 years old and was just kicked out of college for missing too many classes. I have tried everything and anything. We need to make this disease know because right know no doctor has ever heard of PATM.

At first i thought i had TMAU but everyone i told about my problem told me that i dont smell. I kind of wish it was TMAU because at lease doctors know about it. Eventhough there is no cure they know the cause.

I too have this problem. My family thinks I'm crazy. My Psyhcologist is "helping" me with my paranoia. Heck even I'm beginning to think I'm nuts.  I believe. I know I make people sneeze in my presence. I've always referred to it as "tickling thier noses". Now I have severe  anxiety that has negativley affected my life. I am surprised and relieved I'm not alone. Although I feel alone due to the fact I've never been able to convince the select few I've shared my fear/knowledge about this effect I have on others, to "see" what I is really happening. I just decided to look on internet the first thing i found were feeding my anxiety that its a curse of somekind, because there is somewayotuthere history of sorts about this having some relation to bad spitirits and the like. Which Im ashamed to say, I had begun to believe exactly that. The only "symptom"  I dont have is an odor. I sometimes have bad breath though I know its due to my gum disease. (I take great care to prevent halatosis) I have always picked up smells on my body clothes especially my hair. from my environment (food cooking prep, etc..) I can't tell you all how many things i do or have done to eliminate this.  I've changed perfume, soap, bathing routines, detergents,care of clothing,(washing and storing). I need what I think alot of us may need is validation that  this "condition" is real, why it's happening to us, if we know  the why maybe we can correct it. I know there certain medical condition the experts have names for but no  anwers to why which equals no cure/remedy only treatments to contain/maintain sorta.  My fear is I will have to live with this for the rest of my life.  The thought of it is unbareble. has anyone ever had a medical professional explain what could cause this?
