Same as others: Would be the same as allergy to other items. But need specifics here: are you talking allergic contact dermatitis (allergic rash)? It would be similar to cosmetic reactions. Similarly f,or a reaction to the odor causing eye, nose, throat, or lung reactions - like burning, coughing, tightness of airways; this would be similar to other aromatic hydrocarbons, aerosols, gases.
