I recently have had to do a lot of painting on my house, and I found that the OIL based paints set-off a HA, while the WATER based paints did not.
And for what it's worth, the first clue that I ever got that even hinted that I might have a HA problem was my reaction to perfume.
Anyway, I would definitely stay away from the oil-based paints, as well as any deck stains, shellacks, wood strippers (well, any strippers, I guess, since they wear perfume) and the like.
