  • Maybe therearetoomany perfumes andcolognes around . Try taking someclaritan orputting a fan atyourdesk.

  • Gosee anallergy specialist. Theycantest youandsee whatyouareallergic toandyoucangofromthere. Thereisnoway towork itback theotherway without guessing.

  • Isthisa recent occurrance,orsomething long term?

    Ifita recent thing,I wouldsuspect thatperhaps thecarpets wererecently cleaned,andyouarehighly sensitive tothechemicals used intheprocess,whichhavent yetdisapated…Yourbest bet istosimply file a Workers Compensation claim,andasktobesent totheemployer’s medical provider foranevaluation. Ifitisindeed thecarpets,theywillhavetoremove youfromtheenvironment until itclears,whichmightmean removing youfromwork fora couple ofweeks,withpay,until thechems disapate. Youcanalsorequest anenvironmental evaluation ofyourworkspace. Itcouldbethatsomenewplant hasbeenbrought intoyouroffice,orsomeone iswearing a newperfume even…Youwont know unless youhavetheenvironment study performed…But,askaround first –carpets cleaned recently? Newplants? Newperfumes?

    Goodluck. Feel free toemail meifneeded…

  • Maybe one ofyourcoworkers ishiding a leather bound KJV intheirdesk drawer. Theyalways disagree withme.

    lol

    google pollen count orgotoyourlocal weather station todetermine ifthereareanypollen alerts. You“could”chalk itup toa workplace hazard andputtheonus onyouremployer tohavetheinternal air quality tested.
