"You're doing it wrong"
Chthonic confesses: "Only last year did I discover why the lids of things in tubes have a recessed pointy bit built into them." Tell us about the facepalm moment when you realised you were doing something wrong.

Solder
Solder comes with flux in it, which used to be rosin based... smells nice-ish but turns to acid in your lungs - and that's what's making you sneeze. There's no lead vapour.
Ditch it and get some fresh solder with a modern flux and you'll be fine. (Don't care what they say about lead-free being more eco-friendly, it's still crap, tin/lead is what you want!)
