I don't have animal allergies, but I am severely allergic to lavender. I have walked into fabric stores and had to leave because of the "nice relaxing" air fresheners. Unfortunately so many products are now 'fresh lavender' scented, I have to be careful, and sniff as I walk in. I can no longer walk in most cleaning product isles, or even the ones near it. DH now does most of the shopping since it has gotten so much worse in recent years.
