They're all toxic.

Not the citrus-derived ones.

Which gave me a splitting headache and made me feel

Really? Not doubting you, just surprised: I've always found this stuff
quite pleasant to work with, and wasn't aware that it made any vapors at

Technologies.

Citristrip.

Maybe other types aren't so good. Or maybe I'm just
insensitive to something that bothers you.

Probably, or I had a stronger exposure.
