I sneeze loads throughout the day whilst at work, but then not at all when I'm at home in the evenings or at weekends.
Thought it was an allergy to something at work, but having started a new job, it still happens.
What can it be? I can only think that I'm allergic to work and I'm pretty sure that's not a genuine allergy!

Sneezing occurs generally when the nose gets disturbed by dust or other particles which enter it. Ironically, a lot of light which goes into your nose also causes sneezing. Is your working place having a lot of light? Or is it very dusty? Other reasons may be because of a lot of synus(Though it beats me y it comes only in your workplace)

Could be the allergen you picked up at your previous job is still in your sinuses. Try a saline mist or saline nasal spray. That helps clean all that area out. If that does not help, maybe you can try an allergy pill like Claritin. It won't make you sleepy on the job. I have had really bad allergies for 2 months and I can't sneeze. My sinuses are clogged up. I use a moist, warm washcloth on my face. That really helps relieve pressure.

Allergies to Dust Mites. Vacuum your furnuture and bed espescially. Then wash the mattress with a cloth and vinegar.
The air in most buildings has been there for decades. You are breathing in Dust and that is a health hazzard.Even with recycled air the owners and bosses of these buil;dings call ventallation.

I get this too and think it may be a work allergy- however realistically it is probably the dusty blinds at work. If your house is pretty clean and dust free and your workplaces have dusty places (like blinds) or have strong air fresheners- that's probably it. Or it may be that you are allergice to a workmate's perfume??

Maybe you're allergic to working, I swear I have this problem sometimes too. Find yourself a rich partner so you don't have to work anymore and enjoy a life of luxury!
Maybe it's a stress related thing. Have a word with your doctor perhaps

Fluorescent lighting - a lot of people sneeze when exposed to bright lights.

It's a sign that the office cleaner is crap and needs to dust more.
