I've been having this issue where I just can't stop sneezing whenever the weather changes. It's even worse when it's humid or rainy outside. My nose gets all runny and sometimes I get these terrible headaches. It's gotten so bad that I have to leave work, take cetrizine, and sleep just to feel somewhat normal again. Do you have any solutions or advice for this?

I'm curious about something that's been happening to me. Whenever I'm in the kitchen and accidentally inhale heated red palm oil, I start choking and coughing, but I don't seem to have any issues with cigarette smoke, fumes from burning bushes, or car exhausts. Why does this happen? Should I be worried about a specific allergy or sensitivity to something in the red palm oil?

may be you are allergic to that smell
