Cirrhosis and strong smells/chemicals

I work in a supermarket and as the day goes on I quite often feel sick or get a dull headache when I'm around strong smells from chemicals. Is this a common issue with liver disease? I was wondering if my liver struggles to deal with the toxins I'm the air and this makes me feel unwell. Has anyone had this? Strong hand wash and deodorants have a similar effect.

some people get these things without liver disease-if the liver is under stress its certainly more susceptible to toxins especially like vapours.
