18. NONE!

Oct 2017

I and several members of my family and a few acquaintances have a severe allergy to fragrances!

It can put my sister into the hospital, and has.

It is something that people should be aware of.

I once watched a coworker turn beet red, and get short of breath after a Russian woman wearing a heavy amount of cologne came into our store.

I hurried him out of the store, and told him to take a walk to induce fresh air into his system.

This is not the Middle ages, where such things were necessary to cover up the funk of humanity.

Nothing worse than getting trapped in an elevator with a heavy air of cologne or whatever!
