Hmm.
I am thinking that some authority somewhere should have the data & tools to run an assessment on it, and then determine whether or not its a cluster.
Eg how many staff at your school? women over 50? How many(%) of the humanities have this condition, compared to the %age sci dept? Or compared to where you live? or cp to the neighbouring businesses? etc etc
Just a thought.

I have noticed that if I go into the organic store for more than a minute or two, I get a headache, I just try to limit time in there

Hello, I have tried to avoid the chemicals as much as possible during my pregnancy. I have been worried a lot. The baby doesnt like it when I turn on the fume cupboard, which I think is interesting. Not sure if its my stress levels that rise when I turn it on or what.
I would like to have been aware of what my toxic levels are. But I'm flat out trying to find a doctor anyway.
