She could also just be highly sensitive to dust or as Penguin suggested, sand, which can also contain very fine dust residue when rolled in or sniffed. Personally, I don`t think hamsters need sand to keep their fur clean as the substrate they dig in usually does much the same job, along with the hamster grooming his/herself. So if you do use sand, I would remove it for a wee while just to see if it makes any difference. x
