Not with Genesis paints specifically, but through the years, I have worked (fairly extensively) with thermo-setting inks used in various silk-screen processes. I'd hazard there is a similarity.
Not to rain on your parade, Richard, but if you have chemical sensitivities to the extent that you can't handle oil paints, I'd be very wary of using thermo-setting materials which employ mostly the same pigment chemistry as coventional paints, as well as heat-reactive plastic resins. There definitely will be "emissions" from such paints while "setting" them with a heat gun. Whether this is equally problematic for you or not , I guess you'll just have to try it to find out.
Have you thought about gouache ? Or casein ? Or acrylics?
I can sympathize with your sensitivity. My Dad, a lifelong painter in oils developed a sensitivity to contact with turpentine when he was in his mid-60s. His hands would break out in painful lesions that could escalate into open sores with continued contact. Mysteriously as the ailment came on, it "went away" after a few months, and he was never troubled again.
