Are Perfumes Making You Sick?

ARE PERFUMES MAKING YOU SICK?
This is my pet project of the moment
It is sort of a sequel to 'what are they spraying?' and the effects of the smoking ban ie. public venues using air poisoners/fresheners.
Are you affected too? and are you doing anything about it?

Well I guess I'm safe because I use natural cleaning products from Melaleuca, with no nasty chemicals in them, and use natural perfume oils made from natural substances and no alcohol. I fell in love with Arabian perfumes when on holiday and I started using a natural deodorant earlier this year too so I think I'm about as eco friendly as I can be. Unfortunately Mimi, me eldest daughter, still likes her squirty stuff and I find it a bit overpowering. Maybe I should ban her from the house?

That makes quite frightening reading. Now I know why you have switched your washing products.

[WillowTheWhisp]

I'm going to try those nuts even though my current washing liquid is eco friendly.

i havn't been able to use perfume for years nor scented deoderants, i stopped using the plug in air fresheners some 5 yrs ago, use the same wash powder that i have for years, & simple soap & products, i cannot use anything with a slight flowery or perfume smell at all, its part of my everlasting allergies.

It started a while ago when I found that Tesco Multipurpose cleaner melted my rubber bathmat

I have had allergy tests (cats dust etc) which came out negative. Chemical sensitivity isnt testable

It's a shame that web link does not back up any of it's claims with fact. It would also be nice if the author could spell diesel.

They're like inviting a steady stream of deisel exhaust into your home!

When it burns, the black smoke it emits is basically deisel exhaust!
