I can totally identify with that. Probably not many in the medical community recognize hypersensitivity to these things... And, if they are not bothered by this, they don't understand why you are... I had a doc once, who wore the most overwhelming aftershave or cologne. When I tried very nicely to call this to his attention, he acted all offended.

How about laundry detergent and fabric softeners? Do those bother any of you?

Like you, some of the cleaning products really bother me; others don't.

My husband likes to burn incense in his lab at school. I cannot even stand to be in the same car when he brings it home from the store. It better be double and triple wrapped...

I don't see how some of these people stand to work in places where the smell is so overpowering. Makes me think of some of the old time photographers who began to develop Parkinson's after working for years in darkroom chemicals...
