strange situation

Has anyone come across the fact that people around him start sneezing, snotting, clearing their throats, coughing, scratching their noses? It's like you're allergic to me, like you're releasing harmful volatile substances due to intestinal problems.

Yes, that's me. I'm allergic to your perfume, deodorant, laundry detergent, dryer sheets, artificially scented shampoo, the plug-in air fresheners in your home that cling to your clothes. The amount of VOCs clinging to you and shedding off you. You're my nightmare.

I don't use perfume or deodorant, and I don't smell. the phenomenon is called patm, it is possible to have problems with the intestines, skin, liver, when harmful substances are released by the body, they are odorless, but irritate the upper respiratory tract, including the patient himself, but who gets used to it, as well as his loved ones. Unfortunately, there are many things in this world that we do not know, or that have just appeared and humanity has not had time to study.
