Bear used that term this morning-industrial disease. Seems apt right now. I can't tolerate exposure to chemicals or strong fragrances right now. Stuffs up the sinuses and leads to days of vertigo and nausea.
I've joked for years that I'd end up in a bubble one day. It may be coming to that, I swear!
Back to the really old-fashioned ways, I guess. Baking soda and vinegar to clean with. Herbal flea control, because it was the stuff we've been spraying to combat the fleas that set off that last round of vertigo (fingers crossed that it's over with now.). Unscented laundry stuff and personal products.
Now if only people would stop bathing in perfume and cologne and then going out in public, I'd be fine. Less is more, people, less is more! Personal fragrance should be subtle and require someone to be in your personal space to smell it. It shouldn't be a nasal assault on everyone within a 20 foot radius that lingers for an hour after you leave. Ugh!

Ha ha! My daughter wanted to wear perfume the other day. I have been letting her wear a small squirt of the cheap stuff. But since I had just had surgery, I told her to put just one squirt on. Well, she apparently didn't feel like one was enough, and about burnt our nose hairs out!
(hugs) That's why we're friends I guess. I'm fragrance free 99% of the time too. Unscented soap, unscented laundry detergent... It's just me. :D
LOL, skittle, kids and perfume don't mix well, eh? You'd think that with a more sensitive nose, kids wouldn't put SO much on!
Prin-thanks for the hug. And since you're fragrance-free, you can come and visit me in my bubble. ;)
Cool. While I'm in there, can I make unfunny jokes about how you have a bubbly personality?
Joke away! Just don't bring any candles in.
Lol you guys. Skyker it is actually called Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. One of my friends is writing a Master's thesis about it! I am fragrance free all the way as well. Any smelly stuff gives me migraines :(
Yeah, that sounds right, HO. It's all kinds of chemicals that set me off.
I have an awful time finding unscented stuff here, too. :( It doesn't sell as well, so only a few stores carry it.
No candles? Not even unscented ones?
What if the candles use up all the oxygen in the bubble?
Well, you would have eventually used it all anyway, so may as well have pretty candles in there too.
:D
LOL! Gee, thanks! Pretty lights to look at while I suffocate.
