I'm the same way, I can't even light a scented candle. I have unscented soaps and such. I use scented shampoo and conditioner and have a problem with itchy scalp. It has gotten worse with age.

Me too! My gynecologist said that even the unscented ones can cause problems if you use them for drying underclothes so I don't use them at all anymore.
I have several allergies and take Claritin every day plus Nasonex spring through fall. The worst one is the shellfish allergy, because I love shrimp!
My weirdest chemical allergy is to latex paint. I like to paint our house, but if I do, the fumes make me hyper and it's hard for me to sleep. I get moody too! It's the only thing keeping me from repainting, since now I take so many meds! Who knows what would happen?
