One can find easily scent free
 
soaps, detergents, fabric softeners and some other stuffs...but the rest is a real, well put bluntly OPEN a top and SMELL TEST?
I hate to do it, but some 'scent free stuff' really isn't? The scents are often used to cover some other ingredient smells...I just read the ingredient lists [always in SUPER-micro-print] and try to remember which 'ones' bother me and which don't.... Always, the simpler the better in my thoughts.

Have to tell you tho----whenever I see that 'NEW! IMPROVED!' label on what is considered an 'old faithful' I just know I'm gonna have to find something else that's not 'irritating' one way or another.

Before the neuropathies, I'd been sensitive, but not to the degree I am now, and mostly NOW it's what actually contacts my skin, not just smelly stuff.

I'd switched to scent-free stuff ages before all this simply because it attracted bees and other bugs that bite, and their bites I am allergic to.

No wonder I can't seem to get enuf natural Vitamin D! I get bit to bits! - j

Mark keep us updated. I'm curious. On a side note I also wonder and I don't know your diet but if you should look at that too. I know there are a lot of extra added stuff to things that I would think could have similar effect but I'm no expert on this but one of the others may have more info. I'm sure too it was expensive. I know at Whole foods its so expensive that is why I suggested Trader Joes cause there more affordable.

I try and keep a close eye on my diet,unfortunatley organic foods are expensive but I try not to eat too much processed food.Funnily enough I changed my pots and pans about 18 months ago as I read bad things about teflon,I bought scan pans as they are still non stick but without teflon,although they are expensive and I wouldn't recommend them,I don't think they are worth the money at all. I'll let you know how I get on with reduced chemicals...
