Everyone's Health

Scents, perfumes and other smells are unhealthy for some

I spend a good deal of effort avoiding any scented products, as most give me an immediate headache, plus sneezes and a runny nose. Thank goodness manufacturers have heeded the pleas

of people like me, and we can now find many unscented household and personal products. I've had to write to store advertisers and magazine publishers and ask them not to put scented products in my mail. Most comply, thank goodness. I enjoy your columns, so keep up the good work.

There are many others who who agree.

If you don't want the scented inserts, call the magazine helpline or store and say so. Most will happily comply.

Unfortunately, individuals in our local space persist in exposing us to these harmful chemicals. I, myself "Taste" this stuff long before I smell it. These inconsiderate people just don't get it or do not care enough to be polite. Their scents make me sick to my stomach and also sick in general if I cannot escape quickly.

Please Tone it DOWN!
