When I first started Lugol's I had all sorts of terrible respiratory problems back to back. Which was not normal for me. I stopped for a while and came back to it. I'm doing better this time around. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between detoxing halogens and just being sick. I'm not doing the vit C or salt water with the Iodine but I am already taking vit C and other antioxidants with my regular natural health therapy.
I hope you get it figured out about the office conditions. Are you sure your not allergic to rats or rat droppings? Alot of people are.
