It sounds odd doesn't it? I would assume so. I have to RUN through the fragrance department at a store or I will have a headache for the rest of the day. Certain perfumes and candles also gives my mother headaches. I would quit using it for a week or so and see if it doesn't stop.

I've never heard of it but you know it could be possible. I know that different people are allergic to different stuff so you might just be allergic to that hand soap since you've had headaches on and off since you bought it. Stop using it for awhile and see if that helps and if your headaches stop then you know what the cause is but if the don't then you should go see a doctor.

yes, it could be the soap. For me the worst is smelling bleach. One sniff and I can even get a migraine. Also just shopping in WalMart gives me a headache, which I think is from the different smells and chemicals. For some, an intense smell causes the person to tense the facial muscles leading to headache. For others the chemical makeup of the smell irritates the nose and airway leading to headache.

If you have a mild allergy to the particular soap, it can give you a headache. Give it away and get a different kind. It's not worth it.

Some times long nights, my contact in to long, my hair pulled back to tight to long, lack of sleep, no food, no caffeine, it used to be the worse when I used to get a nicotine headache(but not anymore, I stopped smoking.) there are tons of things that can cause headaches, tooth problems, or needing to get your eyes ck'd, it is amazing what can cause a headache. Hope you are better.

I'm sure anything is possible, have you taken any thing for the HA? also another thing that can cause HA's is dehydration, try drinking some water when the HA comes and make sure you are getting plenty during the day. the hot weather and hard work can really take a toll on your body. also try not using the soap and see if it goes away. hope this helps.

Anything that contains ingredients that you are allergic to can be the cause of headaches. I would recommend going back to the soap that you were using prior to this one.

any aroma scent that aggitates the olfactory nerve can cause a headache as the sinus get inflamed restricting blood flow much like hayfever dose
you may be allergic to the ingredients in new soap
go back to normal soap but if symptoms persist seek medical advice

could be, throw it away and see. I know those Christmas tee odor hangers can cause fits of sneezing so why can't smelly soap give you a headache?

It is very possible you may be having an allergic reaction to one of the ingredients. Dispose of it or set it aside and go back to your regular soap in order to establish the cause.
