>>I wish I knew which perfume or smell bothers me. If I am in a well
>> ventilated area it is much better for me.
>>
>> I was sitting on a Para transit bus when suddenly my chest started 
>> hurting.
>> Then it was crushing. Then my head started.  Then I could not lift my 
>> head
>> off the back of the bus seat.  That is when I suddenly smelled a sicky 
>> sweet
>> perfume.  Of course I did not have my inhaler with me. It was very hard 
>> for
>> me to move to get up and off the bus.  This nice man held my arm and
>> steadied me off the bus so I could breathe.  I was wiped out the rest of 
>> the
>> night.
>>
>> I was grocery shopping with my husband when my chest started hurting. 
>> Then
>> it was crushing and I could taste her perfume.  An older lady was 
>> standing
>> near me and she had this sicky sweet perfume on.  I was able to move out 
>> of
>> the area before the headache started.  I quickly recovered.
>>
>> I got similarly ill using Orange Clean in a small office area.  Some 
>> sweet
>> perfumes do not bother me at all. I was sitting in the Pugh at church and 
>> oh
>> Lord help me, I was instantly nauseated with a huge headache.  Someone 
>> took
>> a bath in something.  She reeked and she was two people away from me with
>> something sweet smelling.
>>
>> Now they changed the formula for Happy my daughter in law said.  I asked
>> what perfume she had on as it smelled nice on her. Happy used to always 
>> send
>> me into grabbing my inhaler with an instant headache.
>>
>> I did not have any of these allergies to anything until I was exposed to
>> strong solvents as they were winterizing our building.  I was sick for
>> several days.  The building management had to send me to a hotel and pay 
>> my
>> emergency bills.  This is the long term effects of asthma and allergies 
>> to
>> whatever, mainly sweet smelling perfumes. So beware of harsh chemicals.
>>
>> The chemical exposure happened in my early forties. Before that smells 
>> never
>> bothered me.  I would use perfume all the time.  Now I have to be very
>> careful with any fragrances in shampoos, hair sprays, soaps, hand cream 
>> etc.
>> Lavender in any form does not bother me and that is very sweet smelling, 
>> but
>> some rose smells do bother me. Coconut smells do not bother me.
>>
>> I can't apply Frontline to my dog as it will give me instant tightness in
>> the chest.  I try to stay away from my dog at least a half hour until the
>> chemical is dry.
>>
>> So please gang take it easy with perfumes, hand creams, body lotions etc. 
>> If
>> someone can smell you and you are not in the room, "there's your sign." 
>> If
>> bees can't stand to be around you, "there's your sign."  If people cover
>> there noses whenever you come in a room, "there's your sign." If your
>> bathroom looks like a Body and Bath store, "there's your sign." Man I 
>> watch
>> the Red Neck comedy Show too often, giggle.
>>
>> If your perfume comes in a gallon jug, "You might be a red neck." Yep
>> watching Jeff Foxworthy too much, giggle.
>>
>> Say hey to Tader Salad will ya.
>>
>> I can watch five minutes of Larry the Cable guy, as bodily fluids "ooze" 
>> too
>> much for my taste in comedy.
>>
>> Becky who loves subtle smells
