Brief Answer:
Blood transfusion cannot!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

This is very unlikely that persons get allergic to you all the times unless there is something in your dresses/clothing that they might be allergic to. At times, our perfume might turn persons off but it is in no way us that they are allergic to. I will suggest that you observe people to see if they get allergic with specific dresses/perfumes/etc.

Let me know how this goes.

Brief Answer:
You have to put this behind you and observe further!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

This might often be in your head than a real disease condition. At least, you are not the one who is sick even if these persons complaint. It would be more of a coincidence than you being the problem. Believe in yourself and follow through.

I wish you well.
