Epoxy: health consequences to epoxy allergy

I'm building what will probably be my last epoxy construction due to flu like symptoms following exposure, no skin contact simply being in a shop space with epoxy and mixing it. Curious if there are more severe medical consequences that I'm risking if I am able to push on through this project if I get into a series of 6hr recovery periods where I feel like I need to curl up in a ball afterwards.

This isn't an issue of skin contact or respiration,,I can feel it in my face like a mild sunburn. I'm exercising more so there's some crossover soreness but the flu like symptoms are stronger at an earlier stage than before.
