Does anyone especially have problems with the laundry products (detergent, “fabric softener,” “dryer sheets”)? The newer products with lingering chemical scents are literally killing me from secondhand exposure. I agree with everything that I am reading here in this blog.

1) Has anyone started a Facebook group addressing particular products, like laundry or “air fresheners” like the “bring back the old Pampers” campaign on Facebook. They are now involved in a class action lawsuit.
2) have you reported your complaints, including medical, to the U.S. Consumer Product division?
3) have you reported your complaints, including medical, to the companies who manufacturer chemical fragrances, like Proctor and Gamble?
4) has anyone pursued litigation with respect to these products?
We would like to hear! Thanks.

This is NOT in you’re head, this is real !!!

I’m so sorry you’ve had the three HPV-vaccine’s, Gardasil.

You need to detox !! First of all, you need to know what’s in Gardasil. See: http://www.EU2009.Come2me.nl

You’re higly sensitive and you need to learn more abou that. Vaccine’s don’t do you any good at all. On the contrary: they don’t give you’re body the opportunity to “grow”.

You’ve had a enourmous amount of: polysorbate80 (very toxic), formaldehyde(very toxic), thimerosal ( =mercury and very toxic, aluminiumhydroxide(very toxic)
and more very toxic stuff injected in you’re sensitive body.

Beware off the up-comming flu-vaccins. They also contain very, very toxic ingredients. Just Google on the ingredients I just mentioned, than Google on patent-applications and see, there all in the vaccine’s.

I have also some migraine attack but not as sever as yours. I’m not that sensitive to fragrances, though smelling too much makes me feel dizzy. But what I think that triggers me most when I get an attack, is when I am overly stressed and pressured during work deadline and when I have my menstrual period. It lasts for 4 days and almost makes me bedridden for those days.

I have the same problem you have. Migraines almost daily triggered by chemical fragrances. I have been trying for months to find info on a link with my migraines and living next to a paper mill in Maine for 10 years. I have always thought it was the cause of my migraines.

I thought I’d leave a little note or hope – it seems household & personal chemicals are getting some recognition due to their endocrine & hormonal disruption effects. This has been known since the 90s, but we’ve been thru an anti-science period politically… Anyway, because of the potential for laundry & cleaning products to turn MALE fish/amphibians into hermaphrodites, attention is being paid to the bisphenals, formaldehyde, etc in common products being use near our KIDS. Maybe someone concerned about rising school taxes needed to supply individual teachers to every autistic/learning/behavioraly challenged kid in the class? And why so many kids are now uncontrollable/unteachabel w/o extreme intervention? Anyway, I heard an article on NPR’s ON POINT show on 7/6 about this, probably based on the book “Our Stolen Future”, that actually got off pollution in foods, and had some dicussion about household toxics, incl. perfume. A start. All the callers were so thankful for some time spent on the
Next Plague. We need to write in en mass & thank him for coverage, and ask for more. We need no to be invisible & silent. For the future generations, as well as ourselves.

Its truly a shame what all of us go through. Its unfortunate that we have to learn to live with this. It makes the thought of moving to Nova Scotia sound even better. I would say don’t give up hope, but there are days I don’t have any left either.

I had to leave my position and haven’t been able to find work because of this epidemic of “extreme smellines” we are in the midst of. You are right, people not yet sick with MCS/related conditions are taking this as a challenge to wear more. This is an air quality issue, like smoking. Unfortunately we are worth more to the health care industry chronically ill than we are when we are well. There are places that have successfully implemented policies against blocking access for those disabled with MCS. To the best of my knowledge, it is considered a FEDERAL disability category -hard as hell to get a claim going,(& I’m not interested in getting free$) but perhaps legislation could be initiated for ensuring access at least to public places. Anyone w/ideas? A brave little town I know of that is implementing fragrance free areas in town is Shutesbury, MA, see their website. Go Shutesbury!!

I quit my job because people wouldn’t quit wearing it. When I asked for an accomodation, women start wearing even more fragrance. I could have taken it to HR but the job wasn’t worth it so I just quit. Wouldn’t have wanted to work with people like that anyway. Maybe some day things will change. Maybe we can change it by educating people like what we are doing here on this website.

I am going through the same thing at work, they recently put up scent free floor signs, it was taken by some as a challenge, these are people who are 40 and over! I was in tears today, they have a “choice to wear it, I don’t have a choice to breath it at work. I love my job and I am good at it, I don’t know where to turn
