The effect is similar to hayfever but only worse. Eyes watering, nose running, sneezing.

You are most likely reacting to the fumes given off by the superglue. Try using the glue in a well ventilated space and see how you get on. If the symptoms continue even when used in said space, I'd strongly suggest you stop using superglue.

Having been in charge of H&S at work (where we use loads of cyanoacrylate based glues) you might have developed an 'allergy' to the glue, one which in all likely hood will not go away (I won't bore you with the details as to why). You might also be damaging your lungs more so than normal given your current 'external' reaction to the glue.

Sorry to sound like a doom merchant but I have seen the effects of chemical intolerance at work.
