Could i be allergic to fluorescent lighting?

No.: But it is usually found in places with forced-air ventilation as well, and that tends to stir up dust quite thoroughly.

No : Allergies are inflammatory reactions to proteins. There are no proteins in lighting. You may, however, be sensitive to fluorescent lighting. That would be a sign of some other condition.
