Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, It seems that you may be allergic to the detergents or fumes of the water, these can be a triggering factor for your symptoms. The triggering factors may stimulate the mast cell to release histamine which may leads to all these symptoms. I would suggest you to test for absolute eosinophil count which will helps to confirm the presence of allergic reactions in the body. You can test for the different detergents and the smoke by patch test which helps to identify the allergen causing these symptoms. By identifying the allergen you can avoid them, or you can go for immunotherapy, which will helps to control the symptoms. Thank you.
