strong smells

do strong smells make anyone feel sick?

I was going to ask the same question!
I have found that the smell of certain foods, especially fried food seem really intense and if I can't remove myself from them quickly I start to feel really nauseous. Not sure why this is, haven't read about it anywhere else!

Thought it was just food causing this but today my husband was cleaning a paint brush with spirit and instantly I smelt it I had the most awful nausea, I do find that it eases quite quickly once the smell has gone.
Anyone have any idea why this happens?

A girl stood next to me at work wearing very strong perfume. Gave me nausea. Had to get up and walk away
