I wish that people would stop wearing perfume altogether. I know this doesn't specifically help you and I don't mean to be snarky, but you have no idea how perfume can impact some people. It bothers me to the point that I have to use my rescue inhaler if I am around someone with even a strong fabric-softener in their clothing, and it bothers my young daughters and causes behavioral issues with them. It really is inconsiderate, in my opinion, to wear scents in public. I have had to leave restaurants, stores, etc. because of perfumes :(
You can feel free to ignore me, and I totally get that. I used to love to wear perfume myself in high school, but life has put difficulties in my path that were unforeseen and I don't want the world to revolve around me, I just want people to be aware that sometimes "harmless" things are really very harmful. I got asthma after a dr prescribed an antibiotic I was severely allergic to and it made me totally sensitive to smells and chemicals. I can't change that, but it breaks my heart that people would be intentionally inconsiderate if they knew. Put yourself in my shoes for just a moment. My daughter has an autoimmune disease, so standing behind you for 5 minutes while shopping, etc can cause an exacerbation in her behavior, and even cause her to have a fever, then causing her to miss school for a week or more- all because of, yes, some simple perfume.
Aside from that, since you "don't want to get going" on it- you're putting chemicals on yourself that can cause these VERY things to happen to YOU. Karma is real. (This is less directed at the original poster and more directed at those who feel the need to comment on my comment, which I believe is more than inappropriate since this is NOT a forum for that.)
It's so easy to attack, isn't it? And it saddens me, because I have been a part of Mamasource since it's very beginning and have given advice and received advice on many things- things that are sometimes "trivial" and things that are sometimes monumental. Sometimes someone will give an answer that will cause you to stop, think, and open new eyes to a thing. I only strive to enlighten someone who may not know how harmful such a simple thing can be. Again, I'm not trying to offend and I apologize if I have. I just think that in the grand scheme of things (health included) that perfume is low on the list :(
