I don't understand it either, Mrs. D. When I worked in a hospital, there were some threrapists and nursed who wore strong perfume. I was dumfounded when I talked to my superiors about making a rule not to wear it. They acted like I was a nut! So many patients with nausea and allergies, and we had such close body contact with them. I sugggested to my co-workers that we not wear it, but that didn't stop the ones who were offenders. I don't understand the psychololy behind this....
