acting up like crazy, what is good medicine to stop sneezing?

Sure it can...it might not be as much of an allergen as an irritant.
If its poorly maintained, just being airborne can irritate anyone...
Try to get it cleared up as best as you can.

Sawdust Allergy

The sawdust can be an irritant. And considering how it is possible to be allergic to certain kinds of pollen, an allergy to sawdust is not impossible.

The nose knows. It's pasted on your face to react to irritants such as sawdust, house dust, pollen and etc. Ebony wood produces a toxic sawdust when cut, other woods also have saps and resins that may affect you, even when you just handle them. Also mother of pearl (not a wood) is toxic.

yes, I am, and also included in that and the cause is the sap in that tree. As with other allergies you can help treat the symptoms by taking an anti-histamine preferably 1 hr BEFORE contact with the allergen, and of course avoiding inhaling the dust (wear mask) or touching the sap or wood (wear gloves). A non drowsy medication ,especially if you are working with power tools or driving, like "AERIUS" can provide a full 24 hrs of relief making your day and night a little more tolerable. See www.aerius.ca for more info on the active ingredient, and any contraindications.

Actually, it doesn't matter that she is allergic! Sawdust bedding is actually bad for hamsters (along with anything else with wood.). I would recommend Carefresh. It's soft for the hamsters feet, you can tell easier when it is dirty (because it turns yellow), it is biodegradable, it isn't bad for the hamster, and it looks nicer. Hope this helps!

Possibly if you are actually allergic to the type of tree they are using.

It does sound like its triggering allergy symptoms (sneezing, coughing, water eyes, etc).
If your eyes are bothering you, try rinsing them out with cool water. Check out this site for allergy home remedies:
