Suggest Remedy For Allergy From Red Onions
I get very bad headaches with certain smells. Mostly red onions. I work with a culture of people who don t want to take me seriously when I ask them to omit bringing onions to the office. I can eat them ok if they are cooked well but the smell causes headache and tightened throat and chest. How can I make them understand that this is hurtful when they do it.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It may be difficult to change the diet of other persons.
You may want to print out information on headache triggers to show that your issue is a real and documented one.
If possible , you may need to evacuate the area when these foods are brought in.
Your doctor would be able to give you medication to help relieve your discomfort , you can keep it with you.
I hope this helps
