Perfume and Fragrance Exposure During Pregnancy

on October 28, 2008 in fragrance, health

I recently received an email from Richard Pressinger. He sent me a link to his web site – Chem-Tox.com. He also pointed me to a section on Perfume and Fragrance Exposure During Pregnancy and Learning Disability Research Web Site. This is all very interesting to me because it supports my own hypothesis that the chemical [...]

Toxins in Air Fresheners

on August 12, 2008 in fragrance, fragrance free, Tip-sy Tuesday, VOCs

Our local television news last week had an item about the toxins in air fresheners. I always have to remind myself that the general public isn’t aware of things like this – so it really is news to many people. The news article was based on research by Anne Steinemann, a University of Washington professor [...]

What Does Fragrance Free Mean?

on February 26, 2008 in fragrance, fragrance free, health, Tip-sy Tuesday

I see a lot of talk on the web about this. As well as hear a lot of different comments. Some comments are about the fact that a product has an odor of any kind. So, what do I mean by Fragrance Free? It’s the addition of artificial fragrance that I mean when I talk [...]

Household Products Database

on January 29, 2008 in fragrance, health, Tip-sy Tuesday

I found a link recently to the Household Products Database. Created by the National Library of Medicine, it provides health & safety information on household products. You can look up information by product or ingredient. For example, enter Fragrance in the ingredients search and you get this long list. I didn’t read the entire list, [...]

Mail From the Healthy!

on January 24, 2008 in fragrance, fragrance free, reader comments

I’ve suspected for quite a while that the perfume issue was getting out of hand. More and more when I go out in public (which, btw, I do less and less), I wind up coming home reeking of all the other perfumes worn by other people. It is in my hair and on my clothes. [...]

From My Inbox

on January 21, 2008 in fragrance, health, MCS, reader comments

I receive emails via my other web site, Fragrance Free World, as well as from visitors to this site. I thought I would post some comments from a recently received email: If exposed for more than 15-20 minutes can be under the weather, unable to sleep and depressed for 3-4 days thereafter Air frsheners or [...]

Quite a Paradox

on January 10, 2008 in fragrance, humor

One way I have of wasting time is listening to the radio in the morning. The station I listen to has a contest at 7:30 AM called “20 Minute Trivia for the Tired and Brain-dead.” A trivia question is asked and over the course of 20 minutes, people call in trying to guess the answer. [...]

Non-Rebel Fragrance Fan

on January 10, 2008 in fragrance, health

The poor people that come up with these things. If they only knew that the fragrances have affected their brains to the point that they come up with CRAZY products. Just what the world needs is a fan that spews fragrance. This came from an email ad sent out by my least favorite kitchen, bath [...]

Asthma On The Rise

on January 8, 2008 in fragrance, health, Tip-sy Tuesday

This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who is truly “aware” , but last month our local newspaper reported on the increase in asthma in children. That was something I’ve noticed over the past few years just from personal observation and reading. But it seems the media isn’t really paid to think so they [...]

A Fresh Broom?

on January 7, 2008 in fragrance, health

Just when you think there’s nothing else they can add fragrance to: This story was in our local paper the other day. In the “Life” section under the heading of Consumer’s Edge. (Consumer’s Edge seems to be where they advertise products by publishing info. from company press releases.) It seems that two companies (who shall [...]
