One example of it is they you are feeling okay then someone walks near you with a lit cigarette and when you get a whif of the smoke suddenly many muscles start aching or you get a bad headache. Things like cigarette smoke,perfume, diesel fumes, fumes from cleaning products, paint fumes, the odor of candle burning, and other chemicals can be triggers. Some foods are triggers as well and cause muscle ache and/or headache. What chemical sensitivity means is that certain things that irritate most people at high concentrations irritate chemically sensitive people at much lower concentrations.

Ah. I have that issue as well. I stopped being around cigarette smoke (as much as I could) so I always thought my reaction to it was just because I wasn't around it much. But I can't breath around it. My face gets red. I feel pins and needles on my skin (face mostly). My nose kind of has a burning sensation. Strong perfume bothers me to. Candles and anything that's really strong. It depends on what it is to because usually natural (lemongrass, apricot, cinnamon, etc.) less strong smells don't affect me. But colognes, perfumes, smoke, cleaning chemicals (bleach etc.) bother me. I'm not sure it's bad as yours but I do get a reaction. I use to think it was just my body being healthier from eating better and stuff. But I guess not?

So what kind of foods bother you?
