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 like to smell all the perfumes and all the candles but after i do it, my nose itches the rest of the day...........

you have changed?!

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.

that is the way my mom is. she took a sudafed one time and had a alergic reaction to it, now she cannot take any kind of antihistamine.....decongestent.....or color her hair, or wear perfume.....

the intolerance is acquired.

exposure.

usually over a long time.

Gawd i hope that doesent happen to me with hair colour, when the time comes that my hair starts to turn grey, im colouring it !!!!!!!!!!!
