We have an individual that is going thru a gender change and is emitting some type of smell/odor/scent that is and has been making me ill for quite some time. I have had CAT scans, MRI's, Xray's and Blood work done. I have been to my family doctor, allergist and ENT specialist and nothing can be found that is causing my problem. When this individual wears this scent, I get an immediate headache and sinus's block. I go home on a daily basis sick. I have to share an office with this individual and we have a contained HVAC system. I have left my desk in the office only to be told by management that I will be written up for insubordination if I do not return to the office. I have been to management/EEO/HR/Safety office and my local Union. All with the exception of the union to no avail. This has been going on for 10 months and my health is getting worse. I am at my wits end and stressed to the max over this. I cannot continue to work under these conditions. I work for the federal government and was told to file for disability if I could not deal with this problem. I have over 20 witnesses to this odor/scent/smell that he/she is emitting, but I am the only one gettng sick. HELP !!!!!

have you been to labor and industries for this they should be able to do something this might be a situation in the union also they might beable to help you i have personally not been through this or heard of it but those places should be able to tell i would also get you a attorney to help you with this situation a attorney should be able to help you work place instances
I have called OSHA and they tell me that it is not something they would intervene in.
I really don't give a rats behind what this individual is doing to him/her self, with the exception whatever it is that is being emitted from his/her body is making me ill. We have 22 people who work where I do and almost all smell this individual. But, I am the only one that it makes sick. I have been thru the change of command and it looks like an attorney is going to be my last resort. ThankYou.....
