Over the winter I developed a cough that has lasted till even now and was given a nose spray which has helped but plan to make another doctor's appt. I haven't printed anything for over a month due to my machine being down currently. I was wondering if anyone else who uses ABS has developed any type of throat tickle or cough since printing with it? I would like to rule things out since the physician assistant claimed "environment factors" as to the cause and it doesn't seem to matter anymore where I am.

i've got the throat tickle and cough like you described, i thought it's just the common cold going around... the cough seems to intensify during the cool of the night. On another note, i also have allergy to dust and pollen that makes me want to claw my eyes out..

I read in another post that a lot of the fumes have to do with your temperature. If you have it too high or too low the ABS will release much more fumes. With my filament at 210 I barely even notice an odor.. It is possible you are running your filament too hot. I always run mine at just the needed temp and never assum that temp is the same for another roll. I always test what the minimum temp needed for each roll is.
