You probably are sensitive. Because the chemicals at your work are in higher concentrations, and especially if its an office building that isn't being aired out, you are going to notice the immediate effects that chemicals are having on you. Indoor air is much more polluted than outdoor air. The epa has actualy conducted studies that prove this. It's amazing that the government doesn't have any laws in place to protect consumers from chemicals in their household products. It's so important to our health and the health of our family to use alternative products. If you aren't already using them, you should consider it. Especially now that you are noticing the damage and irritation they cause. I use Melaleuca products, they are great alternatives that don't contain harsh chemicals or preservatives so I can feel good about using them. Hope this helps.
