Anyone else really sensitive to things like perfume?

I can't walk down detergent aisles without putting my sleeve over my nose.
And stores that sell soaps or scented candles...
don't make it two feet inside.

Though I love them, I have a problem with scented candles, air fresheners , incense and the like. We can have them in the house, just not in the same room I am in.

Do you have Yankee Candle shops on your side of the pond? THEY really bother me. I cannot even walk by the store in the mall without getting all sneezy.

Can't recall experiencing Yankee Candles.

Lush
that's a deadly store.
great idea.
not a good store for me.

I worked with a lot of chemicals doing special effects work.
After a moron that I wrongfully trusted gave me a toxic substance to work with and no protective gear I've fought various allergy problems. Some of them are quite severe. Been to the hospital for it and don't even know what the chemicals are.

Can't colour my hair anymore either. It can kill me.

the intolerance is acquired.
exposure.

usually over a long time.
