    Fire retardent chemicals on furniture can be quite overpowering _pale_

    I encountered this in a hospital waiting room of all places, I had to stand outside, it was so bad :(

    Check the furniture for labels to see if it has been made fire retardent.

    Do you have new carpets? I hate the smell of new carpets and it always makes me feel ill.
  • There are certainly a good selection of causes suggested here;
    Drains
    electrical fault
    Gas appliances
    foam on new sofas
    chemicals
    new carpets
    I am intrigued to find out the true cause!
