Take break from work: Inhalation or skin exposure to the nmda agent can irritate your system. If safe working conditions exit and health precautions are being used then my next thought is of an intrinsic agitation rather than toxicity. Stress and worry about the chemicals, hoods, suits and protective gear can add to the pressure. Fear and suspiciousness can increase especially in "isolating" kinds of work environments.
