I am.
If I eat squash I can't read, words don't make sense, and my thoughts and speech get garbled. And dry heeves. And migraine.
Perfume gives me fevers and nausea.
Whistling almost does the same thing as squash.

Not squash specifically, but there are quite a few foods I simply cannot eat.
Perfume and other artificial chemicals/solvents trigger my "chemical induced asthma" and will put me in the ER if I'm exposed for more than a few seconds.
Certain high pitched frequencies or loud sounds distort my senses and sometimes make me black out.

For me macadeamia(sp?) nuts, coconut, and dairy -- they all cause muddle up my ability to think clearly. Also effects my mood (depression/wierdness).

Perfume/cologne is evil. And it all "smells" the same (like chemicals burning through my sinuses into my brain), and also messes with ability to think straight. And odd sensations in my head (never get headaches).

Whistling is fine, I do that all the time with no ill effects. (currently "Bohemian Rhapsody")

that sounds like are having what is known as an autistic shutdown [or at least a part shutdown].
am posted a couple of links yesterday about it to another user-probably the best information can get on them:

am have extreme reactions and overload from all of those,but with squash-if are meaning the drink type,am always get migraines with that,especially the sugar free stuff or fake orange stuff [anything 'fake orange' does it].

god how can any girl breath in the changing rooms? i bet you £100,000 the each use 1/2 a bottle of perfume/deodrant each (it leaks out of the bathroom door and i just can't breath in a deodrant filled area).
