We should all write to the people who make these products and tell them we can't use them.<br />I am just now recovering from exposure to visiting a local store where open scented candles caused me and my friend to start coughing as soon as we entered. We were there only a minute or two, but I ended up having to take a steroid shot to stop the pain it triggered.<br /><br />I tell those in stores that the scented products make people sick. We must all speak up and let it be known that too many people become ill from all these chemicals that are polluting our lives.

My husband and I are both sensitive to perfumes, candles, smoke, cleaners and we use all products that are unscented...hair products are really hard to find, sometime I just use baking soda. We have a sign on our door that says do not enter if you have perfume or aftershave on...most people cannot read. :(Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8160021015821033799.post-687539201519852942017-04-29T20:47:41.613-04:002017-04-29T20:47:41.613-04:00We bought one of our homes from a woman who had al...We bought one of our homes from a woman who had almost total chemical sensitivity. Life was just sooo hard for her.<br />And I too have some sensitivities. Heavily scented cleaners/perfumes and a lot of aerosol products. <br />Simple is better. And clean smells better than scented.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.com
