Oh, I'm pretty sure that I have multiple chemical sensitivity. I cant walk down the chemcal aisle (where they keep all the cleaning products) in a grocery store without getting a headache or feeling sick.

If I need something from that aisle, I have to do it quickly and without breathing.

The cleaning lady that cleans our house bought a new floor cleaner for the kitchen. She knows that I have scent allergies. Her new floor cleaner was supposed to smell like almonds. I thought it smelled icky and then had to open all the windows because it was making my headache yesterday worse, and my eyes were burning.

I've told her that I cant have flowery scents or mostly any scents used in the house. Told her next time she wants to try a scented cleaning product to let me smell the bottle first (outside)

About the only scented cleaning product that I can stand is Orange Clean, and even that has to be in small quantities. Oddly enough, bleach doesnt really bug me much as long as it's in small quantities.

Perfumes on the other hand...before I went atheist, I had to quit going to church with my dad when I was in my early teens, because the old women would come to church just totally embalmed in their perfumes. Asking the church to request that people to use moderation in their stinky stuff didnt help.

I will never understand the people who think that spraying an entire can of Axe on themselves smells good. They're a walking toxic cloud! It's actually dropped me to my knees a few times when I've been in a store and some male child has gotten in to the cans of Axe body spray and decided to sample an entire can of it on themselves. That's enough for me to want to call the HazMat squad to come out and hose down the place.

Once, I was in a grocery store back in the mid90s when teenagers thought it was totally hilarious to skate thru a store spraying a can of Mace everywhere. That actually happened to me twice, at two different stores, but the first time was the worst.

I've never gotten a direct spray of it, but when you walk into a cloud of Mace that someone sprayed about 30 seconds before, it's still enough to drop you to your knees and make you temporarily blind and unable to breathe.
