Sometimes if I'm staring at the printer while it's doing a tricky area I can end up with a stomach ache, I too have a small fan drawing air away from me when I print.  I don't think if she's not in the same 5 foot area that she would be bothered by it, but I would think you should contact her doctor.

Different people have different sensitivity levels to ABS fumes.
