I can relate to every post in this thread! I heard a while back that many people of North European descent have this problem (genetic, I guess). I taught school and some years students would deliberately wear and spray fragrances in the classroom and on their clothes. I would end up in the doctor's office and off work for days at a time. Administration refused to discipline these kids. Other years I had kids that were very careful and took good care of me. One of my friends kept saying to take Benadryl or get myself desensitized. It's not possible. Just have to control my environment or make choices as to where I go or what fragrances in personal hygiene and household cleansers I use. Travel can be a challenge too. I am having pool therapy for my knee replacement recovery and was so happy to see they had signs up Fragrance-free facility! Yeah!
