If you must wear perfume, please keep in mind that there are people who are very allergic to fragrance. I just had to test a kid who's mother was wearing so much that you could smell her outside of a closed door! I had to be inside that room with her and her noxious odor. I now have a headache and am sick to my stomach. My coworker who is not allergic to perfume has been sneezing her head off and is sick to her stomach too.

Perfume was created so that people could mask body stench back when there wasn't soap and running water. If you have access to soap and running water, you really don't need anything else.

Maybe a lot of people don't realize that what they think makes them smell good actually is making people around them sick. I doubt anyone puts on perfume with the evil intent of activating allergies and asthma, but that's exactly what happens. So, if you wear perfume.... please think about that the next time you reach for it and keep it to a minimum.

On behalf of people with asthma and allergies, I thank you!
