Burned smell from wig - anything I can do?

I spent a whole day styling a synthetic bakugo wig, I didn't realize the heat resistance was limited so I was just using a hair straightener (mine doesn't have lower settings).

The wig looks great but the smell is awful, it's sort of like a mix of burned plastic and got2b. I'm pretty sensitive to smells and even putting it on for a few minutes I'm a bit dizzy

Will this get better with time? I've got more than a month to air it out

Any product I can use? I don't want to wash it 😭

Feel dumb af
