Heavy perfume in medical facilities, or anywhere, really

I work as a CCMA in a medical clinic, when a scent affects me, I become sick. It's starting to get worse: it burns my nose, burns my throat, sits in my chest, headache, puffy watery eyes, and nasal congestion. I just wish everyone would understand how serious this is and know I'm not making it up. I'm worried how bad this is going to become, so I'm going to my doctor on Monday in hopes of getting an Epipen and maybe a referral to a specialist. Is there anything else I should do? What are my rights?

I have been in that situation. Multiple times I have talked to fellow employee in private about their cologne, both times it was a male. One was so bad I could tell if he had been in the hallway without even seeing him. This was also in medical clinic. They may of been embarrassed, but needed to be told.

In other situation not much can do, like in a bus.

Are people wearing fragrance employees, patients or visitors?
