I doubt anyone is allergic to it. PVC is often used for water pipes.
Could be the chemicals. There's a MSDS (material safety data sheet)
for almost every chemical people contact at work.
(LOL including "white out").
Maybe helpful to check that.

Try only using one safety device at a time (plus goggles), and see which one makes you not sick
I do wash my hands after I build something, and I always wash my hands before I eat, so I don't think that is the problem, I think it is that when I use the dremel tool, I usually have my face pretty close to what I am working on so that I can be precise, and since my face is close to what I am working on all of the dust is right in front of my mouth.
I don't think I will be doing too much more with PVC, since I am %85 sure that it is the cause, but I do have a few appointments for scans and tests to make sure that it is nothing serious.
