Posted: 8/26/2007 8:26:32 PM | So now if someone has diabetes......I won't be allowed to eat a candy bar in front of them? Oh and better not use leather products like purses and billfolds as some of them have an oder also and what about leather care products to keep them conditioned...I swear I recall they stink. Guess we will all be going barefooted...you know, no leather shoes or cowboy boots.
Or men's after shave.....I'm going to miss that...love the way some men smell as they walk by. And if someone doesn't like the smell of onion or it bothers them, I can't put it in my potato salad for the covered dish dinner at the club. Maybe it will reach the point they cant use garlic in any Italian restaurants. There goes that cajan seasoning also, must not have that bothering anyone or the smell of sea food. Wonder if I have to put up a sign on my door.....sea food was cooked here last night?
People, if your having some type of allergic reaction to smells....SEE THE ALLERGIST AND START TREATMENT, it's your medical problem.......stop taking away my freedoms....
I don't mean to sound insensitive......but all of us can find something that makes us ill.....it's our problem......we need to address it and stop trying to control others rights. | |

Posted: 9/3/2007 12:12:08 PM | Right now I am so on the fence with this one. I have a sensetivity to a lot of scents, like cleaning supplies, hair sprays, baby products (creams & lotions), paints, etc. , as well as a lot of perfumes. I have gotten off a bus because someone got on that bathed in their perfume. ( So much that I was coughing and felt like I was choking)
Though having said that, I like to wear perfume once in a while and I use a lightly scented shampoo.
I guess when the time comes I will vote in favour of the ban. This would include any kind of scent, not just perfumes. It will include items that I have already listed.
It's kind of sad though, for who doesn't want to wear a little perfume when going out on a date. | |

Posted: 9/10/2007 11:47:48 PM | perfumes/scents cause many people to have severe migraines. Severe migraines are mini-strokes, and when a person gets enough of them, then can cause a major heart attack, never mind what it does to glaucoma patients (such as me).
People who suffer from severe migraines (and perfume/scents always trigger migraines) have a 64% greater chance of a major heart attack than others. My eye doc specialist at the age of 42 and very fit and healthy had a major heart attack caused by somebody coming into his office and knowing that perfumes were banned, he was off work for a year.
This is not crap as person said above this post.
If everybody really knew what was in perfumes/scents and most of what you put on your body, you would stop wearing them. But even then there are a certain number of people who will continue to pollute the air and harm others, because they truly do not care about themselves or others.

I see people who don't actually read there way through a thread are alive and well among American POF posters.
Along with people who don't know what communism is. A public health concern isn't communism. | |

Well . . . ahem . . . having been a research physiologist most of my adult life, I would take a few issues with the post above (206). However, I’m not here to teach medicine.
On the other hand, many perfumes bother me a lot. It’s not so much that I dislike the smell, necessarily, it’s more that most perfume aggravates my nose and gets me into a sneezing fit that lasts some time.
The apartment building where I live is populated mostly by single women. I know that, every morning, the elevators will be full of many scents the women think smell good. And, taking the ride down from my seventh floor quite often triggers sneezing and a low grade headache. So, I have a very simple fix for that: I walk down a stairway that I know goes to an outside door. Problem fixed.
In the afternoon and evening, the perfumes are not so strong anymore and usually don’t bother me much.
Yeah, I suppose I could kick up a fuss as some people would. But, I don’t. I simply avoid women who feel they have to bathe in smelly stuff before they go out. No big deal, really.

Posted: 9/11/2007 12:45:46 AM | I work in a public government building, it's not often, but every once in awhile we get a severe asthmatic who is vulnerable to the stuff. So we're a scent free environment.
Yet somehow... life goes on.... | |

Posted: 9/11/2007 7:47:23 AM | re: scent free envirements..the local disability help center is a 'scent free' zone..ok, I rarely wear perfume, and not enough that some one could smell it if I walked into the room...but their cleaning materials and soap in the building makes me wretch!
Granted SOME ladies don't know when their perfume has gone rancid (men too) but what we don't need is another law, we need people to act responsibly (and think for themselves) yes?
(US citizen that lives in a 'smoke free' city) and I smoke~ | |

Posted: 9/22/2007 12:09:16 AM | You know its funny but now that you mention it...
In every scent-free building that I have ever been in - you walk in the bathroom and there is scented soap in the dispenser.
Do the "severe" sensitive asthmatics not wash their hands? How come I can't wear perfume but its ok to be exposed to scented soaps? | |

Posted: 9/22/2007 2:43:06 PM | We may all be going naked soon. Which isle is the scent free fabric softener in please? Oh an no new cloths.....you know they have that NEW, never been washed smell.
Surely someone out there has a life threatening allergy to body oder.
It's a medical problem, folks.....see an allergist and get treatment......
And if you can't work around perfumes.......there are always jobs in the feed lots.....all one can smell there is Cow Shit.......don't think people waste good perfume in that work environment. | |

Posted: 10/2/2007 5:41:21 PM | As a perfume lover, I had on chanel coco on one day, some gal said do u have perfume on, I said ya why well it makes me sick. well I think if employers hire someone they sh9uld state no perfume not some rude coworker saying she cant stand the smell of it.
As long as it is light I dont see a problem, well coco is not light
It really pissed me off for them to say this, alot of employers ban employee to use perfume.
Ok, so like what is next no Deodorant, no body soap, wtf
AS a matter of fact, it ruined my relationship with them
Dont we have any rights, | |

Posted: 10/2/2007 5:55:17 PM | Actually I think more and more, peoples negative reactions to things is more in their HEADS. Pepper makes me sneeze.....but I still heavily cover my food in it....love the taste. Some hot salsa makes my nose run profusely.....so I just take extra Kleenex.
Some medicine fillers make me itch, so I take benyadrill.
Unless someone has been professionally, medically tested for allergies and can show me the results....HELL THEY DON'T REALLY KNOW.....WHAT'S CAUSING THEIR PROBLEM......it's just a guess. And if they have seen a Dr, been tested, I'm sure the Dr has given them meds to control THEIR problem. SHOW ME THE PAPER.....I'll cut you some slack.....UNTIL THEN, DON'T INFRINGE ON MY RIGHTS AND STAY OUT OF MY SPACE....... | |

Posted: 10/2/2007 8:08:23 PM | I never realized that I had such an adverse reaction to perfume. But I do!
It actually makes me sick to my stomach, and gives me an immediate headache when someone walks by me doused in perfume. I could not imagine being completely intolerant of it, like some people are.
I don't think people need to bathe in it, a little squirt behind the kneecaps would be just fine. | |

I have to ask how someone with the above problem is able to survive at all. Perfume is made from flowers. Do flowers cause the same symptoms? Laudry deterant? Soap? Shampoo?
Perfume is not some strange liquid. It appears in thousands of used daily products. Therefore, I don't understand why people aren't taking medication to protect themselves from the world around them. | |

Posted: 10/8/2007 11:33:43 AM | I have yet to ever go into a Canadian building that bans perfumes. I travel alot across Canada and never once has my perfume been objected.
I have had people tell me that they are very alergic to all perfumes, and not notice that I had perfume on. Yes, you can certain smell the perfume I wear, so I find this a little strange.
Alergies are cause by the liver and/or kidneys not removing substances from the body. Instead of takes yet more unnecessary drugs, maybe, just maybe, detoxing the body could be the answer.
This is just another way that people blame/try to make other people responsible for a problem which is their's, and expect other people to change/fit it, instead of themselves. | |

Posted: 11/23/2007 11:32:14 AM | Perfumes bother me, period. very, very minute amounts, when I inhale them, feel like razorblades in my nose. Not only that, but if any of it gets on me, I break out in a rash.
My mom and sister by me colognes sometimes, and then get pissed when I don't wear them...even after I tell them that I can't; the smell bothers me and so does the rash.
Natural and organic perfumes don't cause the same havoc on my skin, but I can't inhale the particles. I just have a very sensitive nose.
I think that chemical perfumes should be banned; natural scents no. | |

Posted: 11/23/2007 12:29:22 PM | | ^^^^^I think you should go see an allergist and a head doctor and find out where your symptoms arise from,,, It's certainly NOT NORMAL to have all these problems. | |
