What Causes Cough After Smelling The Sanitizer?
Hello, I started this new job at a custard place and on top of many tasks I tend to there I also do dishes. We follow the Health Department s rules for washing dishes (Wash, Rinse, Sanitize) and every time I get a whiff of the sanitize water I cough badly. What s happening to me?

Hi & Welcome.
I appreciate your concern for getting cough after smelling sanitizer.
Well, it appears to have been occuring due to allergic reaction when you are exposed to sanitizer as while smelling or taking a breath can result in difficulty in breathing or coughing, etc
Kindly bring about this allergic reaction to your supervisor so that you are not assigned to do this part of the job or you may be asked to wear face masks while taking care of the dishes.
Hope to have answered your query.
A feed back is appreciated.
