You may be allergic to somthing in it, read whats in it and see if you can find out why it is affecting you

Was thoroughly and regularly and consider a spray to eliminate it.\n\nMy girlfriend had the same problem. She changed a few habits but I gave her a bottle of this spray I use called "Approach". It's an all-natural biological odor eliminator so it's perfectly safe to spray right on herself. It's helped a lot and I know it's made things much easier not only for her but for me too. You can find it online at www.approachit.net\n\nGood luck

The vast majority of air conditioning systems do not purify air.  There are a few that do however.  Some air conditioning units are equipped with HEPA filters.  These filters filter out quite a lot of small particles.  Some use activated-charcoal which is able to chemically react with many potential toxins in the air.  Others use UV light inside the air conditioning unit in order to break down particles of pollen, viral particles, bacteria, and fungi.  I am unaware of any that can remove CO2, but there are some that can probably remove CO.  Some do unfortunately produce ozone.\n\nThe units that use UV light can produce ozone, and sometimes can even blacken walls where they pump out air.  Some filters use charged plates to capture charged particles in the air.  These charged plates can also cause the formation of Ozone.

The proper answer is with HEPA filters. Air purifiers are only as good as the engineering before the manufacturing process. Air conditioning has no viable way to eliminate the toxic contamination(hidden in odors). \n\nTo rid yourself from the damaging effects of toxic paint fumes, you will need to have MSAH filters in combination with HEPA. But, you will rid yourself of possible lung damage.

Uh, The sources on air purifiers creating toxic fumes seem to be reliable.  On the other hand, you have such a difficult time with spelling that I can't really trust your scientific knowledge.

Ozone is one of the main triggers for asthma attacks!!!  I would never consider using ozone to treat asthma without a doctors orders!!  I doubt very much that they would even think about it.  Ozone is a strong oxidizer and is very harmful to the body cells.  Because of this it is listed as a known carcinogen and regulated by the EPA, FDA, and OSHA.

• The best way to avoid getting a rash from poison ivy, oak or sumac is to stay away from the plants. You can't get a rash from just standing near a patch of poison ivy ­ the urushiol oil in the plants, which causes the rash, can only transfer to your skin by direct contact.\n\n• However, your pet can run through a patch of poison ivy, oak or sumac and get the urushiol on its fur. Then when the animal jumps up on you, or you pet it the urushiol can transfer to your skin. Dogs seem to be immune to the oil, but many a dog lover has developed a serious rash from the oil on his pet's fur.\n\n• Avoid burning poison ivy, oak or sumac. Poison ivy vines often grow around trees and can be easily overlooked and tossed into a campfire. The smoke can carry the urushiol oil into your respiratory system causing serious allergic reactions inside your nose, throat and lungs. If you believe you have inhaled smoke from burning poison ivy, see a doctor immediately, the allergic reaction can be very serious.\n\n• If you are going to be hiking in a wooded area where these plants live, wear protective clothing ­ long-sleeved shirts, long pants tucked into your socks or boots and cloth or leather gloves. There are some barrier creams that have been shown to help prevent the oil from getting on your skin.\n\n• If you get the oil on your skin, wash as soon as possible with lots and lots of cool water. The sooner you wash, and the more water you use, the less likely you will be of getting a rash.\n\n• Although a number of studies have been done on treating the rashes, no one has proven that any home remedies really work. The most common suggestions are to apply calamine lotion to the rash or rub the rash with an ice cube. These remedies may or may not work, but they probably won't cause any harm.\n\n• If the rash covers more than 20 percent of your body, or develops in sensitive areas like the eyes, mouth or genitals, see a doctor immediately. Physicians can prescribe steroids in either cream form or by injections that may decrease the allergic reaction. Extremely sensitive people may need to be hospitalized.\n \nExcerpted from Woodall's Monthly Regional RV/Camping Publications.

Quit useing it immediately...Obviously it irritating your skin...Wash with warm water and a gentle soap...rinse well and apply some baby powder for a few days...Wash and repeat, throughout the day...No deodorint for a while...Then change to one with out Aluminum Sulphate in it...It's clogging your pours and trapping the bacteria...That's why it itches...Try and refrain from scrathing it..Wash as above instead...It'll eventually stop itching and clear up... :)...Yukoneze

i dunno really, sounds like you could be. Does it happen when you use anything else? i think that perhaps if you do keep using it you should do like a test or something to see how long you can stand the smell with out being sick. I'm not being disgusting its just the fact that if you are sick then you no that u are allergic, but if your no then u no that there is something you can do to prevent it. You could use a fan or something whilst using the spray?\nhope this helps. xx

Are you sure you are allergic to the water itself rather than something IN the water? I ask because it is odd that it would only affect you on the outside, because I would think being allergic to the water itself would cause reactions internally too.\n\nI'm personally allergic to chlorine (and bromine), so I can't go swimming in pools or I break out in a horrible rash.  I also get a small amount of eczema from taking showers (the amount of eczema is directly proportional to the amount of chlorine in the water).  Since I don't generally drink pool water, I don't have problems drinking tap water. But chlorine in the air makes me sick (from pools or cleaning solutions).\n\nI have actually heard of someone being allergic to water, on I think Ripley's believe it or not.  But she would get hives from crying, and she couldn't drink water either. She could drink juice or milk though if I recall correctly.

You could be just having a rash from heat. It could also be allergy to the laundry soap that you're using. Try to chage your laundry soap and rinse clothes well. Or irritation from too tight clothing.

NO! Ozone is toxic!\n\nFresh air and supplemental oxygen will help.

"These devices are marketed to reduce pollen and particulates in room air."\n\nBUT the consumer should be aware: \n\n"...a chemistry professor at the University of California at Irvine, noted that all “ionic” air purifiers emit some ozone.\n\nThey emit small amounts of ozone as a byproduct of this ionization process. The other machines, which employ ozonolysis, emit more ozone.\n\nIn a small and poorly ventilated room, the ozone adds to existing ozone and creates potentially unhealthy concentrations.\n\n"People operating air purifiers indoors are more prone to being exposed to ozone levels in excess of public health standards," Nizkorodov said."

I have had these on and off for a couple of years. I was prescribed hydrocortizone cream but was not refilled my prescription. I was also developing rashes under my arms at the same time. I switched my anti-persperant from Degree to the Adidas one without aluminum and surprisingly enough it stopped both rashes after about 2 weeks. I also switched my soap from generic "sport" soap to Ivory, and that may have also helped.

No. It is possible to be allergic to substances or organisms in water, but pure water with a low salinity level cannot cause allergies in whatsoever application.\n\nIt is perfectly possible to have an allergic reaction to treated water from the tab: I have a chlorine allergy, for instance. All I need to get a severe case of sinusitis are minuscule concentrations of free chlorine in the water.

I would recommend seeing a Doctor.  Using just any old cure recommended by people online could be a bit dangerous since you don't know what is causing the rash.
