These natural responses to threats, like chemical exposures, can cause side effects such as headaches, rapid or irregular heartbeats, higher blood pressure, nausea, asthma, sinusitis, etc. Usually the side effects are short lived. But, sometimes, something goes wrong in our body that causes our hormonal or immune responses to overact or be overly responsive. The result is a condition call Chemical Sensitivity. If this happened to you then you will discover that there are other smells or chemicals or substances that cause your body to have an uncomfortable reaction.
