Epoxy: Epoxy Sensitvity

I seem to have developed a mild sensitivity to the epoxy I have been using( Industrial Formulators) It uses the West Pumps and is similar proportions just a bit cheaper! It is not too bad but like hay fever!
I'm wondering if others have experienced this reaction and if another brand might be less "reactionary"?
I have a respirator but I have to admit that I don't use it 100% of the time. Especially on small projects.
The local choices are Industrial Formulators,West,and System Three.
