Hi this is one of my pet hates - I get hayfever caused by tree and shrub pollen (so it starts early spring and runs through to early summer). During this time my nose is particularly sensitive to other's perfumes, etc, to the point sometimes of making me feel overwhelmingly sick.
I use a nasal balm (like a lip balm but used around the end of the nostrils) which aims to 'catch' particles/molecules before they get into your airway to cause the problems. Not sure whether we can/should promote a specific product on the forum but if you Google "hayfever balm" the product is listed in several search results.
It doesn't stop every strong smell but it reduces the effects considerably - even from strong perfumes - and I am never out without it. Oh and it helps reduce my hayfever symptoms too!
From what you say is happening in your workplace you are not getting appropriate support, but this may provide you with a self help solution that won't have any affect on any of the medication you currently take.
Hope this helps
Cathy
