I had to leave the shop very quickly, as I felt like I was going to throw up or choke.
Could this have been a smell hallucination?
I wouldn't have thought so, however the smell was extremely bad, and nobody else seemed bothered by it.

How long did it last, and did anyone else smell it? There is a certain seizure type that can have sensory hallucinations - and one person doesn't usually have more than one or two of them. It can include hallucinatory smells, tastes, sounds, and visual information. As a rule, the smells and tastes are indescribibly bad, and no one around you will experience the hallucination. And if you smelled it and walked out, it would go with you. These types of seizures are typically very short - lasting anywhere from 10 seconds or so, up to two minutes, and there is no loss of awareness.
