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 have the same problem... I can't hold a job because of it. So I can't see a doctor because I have no money. But from reading you guys experience I don't think seeing a doctor will help much. Its horrible. I'm a prisoner in my own body. I barely ever leave my house. And I'm plague with thoughts of suicide every day of my life and I dont know what to do anymore. This isn't living.

You maybe exposed to low level Hydrogen Sulfide. Which maybe stuck in your clothes.

below are some symptoms upon being exposed to Hydrogen Sulfide.

Concentration Symptoms
0-10 ppm Irritation of eyes, nose, and throat.

2 ppm Bronchial constriction in asthmatic individuals, spontaneous abortion

5-9.3 ppm Increased blood lactate concentration, decreased skeletal muscle citrate synthase activity

10-50 ppm Headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, coughing, difficulty breathing.


150-250 ppm Olfactory paralysis

50-200 ppm Severe respiratory tract irritation, eye irritation/acute conjunctivitis, shock, convulsions, coma and death in severe

Health effects Edit

In most homes, sewer gas may have a slightly unpleasant odor, but does not often pose a significant health hazard.[6] Residential sewer pipes primarily contain the gases found in air (nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc.).[7] Often, methane is the gas of next highest concentration, but typically remains at nontoxic levels, especially in properly vented systems. However, if sewer gas has a distinct “rotten egg” smell, especially in sewage mains, septic tanks, or other sewage treatment facilities, it may be due to hydrogen sulfide content, which can be detected by human olfactory senses in concentrations as low as parts per billion. Exposure to low levels of this chemical can irritate the eyes, cause a cough or sore throat, shortness of breath, and fluid accumulation in the lungs. Prolonged low-level exposure may cause fatigue, pneumonia, loss of appetite, headaches, irritability, poor memory, and dizziness. High concentrations of hydrogen sulfide (>150 ppm) can produce olfactory fatigue, whereby the scent becomes undetectable. At higher concentrations (>300 ppm), hydrogen sulfide can cause loss of consciousness and death. Very high concentrations (>1000 ppm) can result in immediate collapse, occurring after a single breath.


please read the link and I hope this will help you.

Same here. Im 16 and this problem started about 2 years ago. I did start smoking weed at a young age probably around 5th grade but just a few times but really started around 6th grade, I would smoke more but never constantly, I would stop smoking for long periods of time. Since I would hang out with my brother everywhere he would go, I would smoke along the way. Currently I have smoked a couple of times, just because I like when I'm high, I don't think negative just feel good but do get paranoid, and time goes by faster. I hate that all this has me thinking negative. It's very hard to control my face muscles and my body twitches quite a lot. Everytime I'm in a room and people cough or get near me, it distracts me, and I can't control people getting watery eyes or itching/running nose when I look at them. I know I'm the cause because it never used to be like this. I used to have a clear mind, I used to be happy. Everytime I'm in a room I feel like I get everybody depressed. I'm depressed, I try to just ignore it but it's destroying my joy and I'm 16, this shouldn't be the case. I have bad eye sight, I wear glasses now constantly but used to wear them off and on throughout my time. I used to have watery eyes at the end of middle school, I used to get watery eyes a lot. My face been through a lot, red rashes around face, bad skin on chin all hard and red skin being torn all slimey. I have little white dots around eyes. I'm not sure if it's because I smoked weed or started masturbating around high school or because I masturbate constantly for a certain amount of time (1 week) and stop for a month or two. Right now I'm trying to stop masturbating and leave it. Sometimes I think I look good or decent but people look at me amazed or like I'm weird. I just want to have a clear mind, think positive, and control my life by being "normal" I just want to be happy again. Please if anyone can help, I've considered suicide, please help me and other people like me.

Hey don't think your alone.

I've been kicked out of university for the same reason, with over £20K debt, Shortly being kicked out of my home with nowhere to go.
Lost a job and business to this, so i'm currently living on loans.

I looked down to people all my life, and to have something knock me down destroys you. The little things in life such as spending time with family is difficult.

Hugs & Kisses to all suffering from this, it's excruciating. Growing up, I suffered a lot of physical injuries from sports as well as results of my mischievous shenanigans, some were really bad however I would wish PATM on my worst enemy.  
Seize every moment and live it as if you are not suffering. It's clearly not in our heads but until you can find a solution, don't let it make you crazy or destroy your life.
