I checked with ENT.. but there is no issues. I guess there is some allergen coming out from my mouth and body.. very embrassing..
Brief Answer:
Explained below...
Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
I see. If no issue with ENT then, I do not think the reaction people are having is an allergy.
There are various other explanations:
- mouth odor (check your teeth)
- what you say ; try to record yourself (without letting others know) and then, listen to what you are talking and discussing later on. Perhaps you are running some words or conversations that make the others react like they do
Sometimes, when we do not find any organic problem, then, it is related to our behavior, what we say, how we interact with others, and our perception for things around us.
Hope this helps.

Detailed Answer:
Hello back XXXXXXX
You are right XXXXXXX that there is not much medical data research already available for the general public related to this condition. There are many people who are facing this nowadays and the good news is that is not an organic disease.
This is called PATM syndrome and the treatment is in your own hands.
The secret is to distract yourself from thinking that people are allergic to you. If you can not stop thinking then try deep breathing as a way to put your attention away from people.
Thinking about this problems is the greatest enemy and you can defeat it by doing sports and by following a healthy diet, especially Mediterranean cuisine. Try wearing different sports and enjoy swimming.
If you cannot overcome by yourself this problem, then, can consult a psychologist.
He/She will teach you new tricks how to deal with people and this kind of allergy.
Hope this helps XXXXXXX Wish you the best.

Brief Answer:
Advice below...
Detailed Answer:
Hi back XXXXXXX
I understand your concern.
At this point, I advise to stop thinking about it. Do not look at the others when you talk with them. Let them do whatever they want.
If this is stressing you too much, when you are with others, and talking with them, and then, they suddenly, start coughing or sneezing; you stop talking and ask them politely if there is anything wrong. In this way you can see if this is really from you or just from themselves.
Try this and let me know.
Do not let what others do and think stop you live your live decently.

I am trying to do the same , but when people start rubbing their nose sneeze or cough i get more nervous and helpless i start sweating. I think this is a medical condition not pysicol issue.
Brief Answer:
Not a medical/organic disease/condition, not at all...see below
Detailed Answer:
Hi back XXXXXXX
Rubbing the nose and sneezing and coughing although seem to be signs of allergy, that does not always mean to be so.
That's why I advised to stop thinking about what others are doing or reacting as long as you are not doing anything bad to them.
Not all the people have the same reaction to what they listen. So, don't think about it and don't get nervous unnecessarily. No need to worry.
All the best.
