There Might Be a Scary Downside to Fabric Softener Sheets

73. It is air pollution

You are not alone & certainly not nuts. You only have to look down this thread to see several people reporting symptoms. Yours may be more extreme but everyone is experiencing some level of stress when their bodies have to deal with filtering a toxic cloud of these chemicals. People get used to the perfumes and think they (or their house) "smells fresh" when the opposite is true. Actually they smell rank from these detergents and dryer sheets and deodorizers, especially as the day goes on. The industry is reaping huge profits playing on the public's insecurity about odors. It would be one thing if it was just about wasting their money, but there are significant effects on health.

I will keep fighting against this stuff until masses of people finally reject it. That day will come.
