I know this sounds so weird. I can be in a store, either a clothing store or a fabric store for quite sometime and then all of a sudden my eyes water, my nose runs and I break our in a sweat like a hot flash. I need to get out of that place as fast as I can. It is so strange because it doesn't happen right away. it seems like it is only after I've been there for a while. I think it has to do with the chemicals and sort of a cumulative effect because it does not happen at home with my "collection".
