(OP)
I was wondering if there is a type of solder that is non-allergenic. I am using Rosin solder (lead free), but it makes me very sick afterwards. It also must be lead-free.

Lead-free solder is another well-known issue. Google ROHS

More than once, when I've been idly reading over the shoulder of some lawyer in a railway carriage, this is what they've been working on.

You really should (in your case) get the fumes out of the space/building. I don't know what your space is like but one suggestion would be: Get some cheap plastic dryer hose. Mount a reasonably powerful pancake fan(like those found in PCs only AC powered) in one end of the hose. You can jig it with sturdy cardboard. Then at a nearby window make a cardboard inset so the window can be closed on the insert. Run the hose to a hole in the window cardboard. You then solder a few inches from the suction side of the hose. The fumes all head out the hose.
If you are in a building with A/C often no fan will be needed as the A/C pressurizes the building and the hose will act like there is already a fan associated with it.
If you have to go over twenty feet then consider using some plastic pipe sections. There are schedules of pipe that are very thin and cheap.

I used the negative pressure method in my dorm at college. My roommate had the worst BO when exercising I have ever witnessed. It was so bad that if I walked into our 400 room dorm building's first floor door, in the middle of the building, and he was exercising (our room on the very end of the building on the third floor), I could smell him. He would get up every morning (and I-kid-you-not) do 5-600 sit-ups. Well I put a dryer hose in the window and the buildings low pressure would cause outside air to rush in thru the hose. I would stick next to my face. It was the only way to survive.. lolo

Like Kieth said but maybe you could use a bathroom fan box real easy to connect hose to. It can be mounted, or temporary and placed as you like close to the work. These do not move too much air should be just about what you need.
You could use a Piece of plywood with a hole for window and a dryer vent exhaust for other end of hose. Use screws to lock window on top of the panel. It can be secure or removed when not in service.
Heck a guy could even use a foot switch to activate as needed.
