I'm also allergic to almost everything. Smell wise.My husband says I have the best nose of anyone he knows. Avon perfumes are the worst, My husband like to warm up tortills over the open flame on the stove and that really sets me off. Wood fires, worst,candles,yuk. Most of my friends are really good. But I have to be careful and stay as far as possible ,without offending me. Material,bad too. My thumbs crack near the nails, If I handle too much. Isn't it lovely.Ha
