Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Asthma / September 2007studies on perfume & asthma?
Are there any studies about perfume triggers for asthma? A young lady I know had to be taken to the hospital the other day because an ignorant person sprayed perfume all over the damn room. (no not me I'm allergic too!). After speaking to people it seems like we get half who are for the perfume and fragrance ban and the other half who want to assert their hoomin rights and keep spraying away. I guess this goes with the territory. The only people who really understand the seriousness of our medical conditions seem to be those who have seen family or friends have asthma attacks. In other words, they've seen someone who COULD HAVE DIED.

What you have is a combination of some people dousing themselves with perfume, others with aftershave. You also will find traces of dry cleaning fluid, moth balls, hair spray, and any number of other chemicals that are outgasssing from peoples cloths, hair, and skin. I have always had proplems with my sinuses and with drowsiness while sitting in a church. I probably got my migraine from being in church(one time during xmas) and smelling all that between my allergies, asthma and then getting a migraine.....the throwing up one. ugh don't worry you are not the only one falling asleep in church. >> Are there any studies about perfume triggers for asthma? >> [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > outgasssing from peoples cloths, hair, and skin.

I just got a Glamour magazine in the mail(course it is enclosed in plastic on top of it) and i was just thinking about this. when is someone going to do something about those darn perfume ads. we have to have an asthma attack and then sue someone??? I understand what you mean. Melissa/WI > I just got a Glamour magazine in the mail(course it is enclosed in plastic > on top of it) and i was just thinking about this.

Yeah, I have idiots at work that think that asthma is psycosomatic.I have been battling for over a year to get people to understand that asthma is a real condition, Yet they feel that it is a harmless attractant. If they are married and go to church, why do they need to attract anyone. No, I don't go to church, because I can't worship if I am wheezing. I have also been called disruptive in church, because I am wheezing. I am tired of the selfishness of the perfume wearers. >Are there any studies about perfume triggers for asthma? > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >TIA, >~Melanie |
