With a new computer, especially one not yet turned on, the chemicals
are highly suspect. The boards emit chemicals, so does the case--
expoxies, flame retardants, etc. See Nordstrom's book The Invisible
Disease.

Anyone should air out a new computer at least a couple days before use.
Now that you're sensitive, probably at least a week, including at least an
hour at full throttle computing. Wiping the keyboard down
with alcohol or letting it sit in the sun might help (don't inhale the
alcohol).
But you should not use the keyboard that's built in anyway, the EMFs are too
high.
