Hmm, first attempt didn’t go through, let’s try again.

My wife has eczema, psoriasis and lichen sclerosus. We have long wondered if there could be an environmental cause like this.

What a shame. I experience the same problem. Can’t believe that this type of pollution is being allowed.

Last night, long after the neighbor stopped drying clothes, there was a heavy rain. Did it smell fresh in the yard? No. All one could smell was the scent from the dryer sheets. It was on the plants.

The neighbor knows that this is s problem. I’m going to have to ask for a town ordinance that either dryer sheets are banned, or there must be some kind of filter added to the dryer vent.

We don’t use pesticides in the yard. What good does that do when plant life is covered with this stuff.

Good grief? Why wouldn’t you fire a cleaning lady who does not provide the service you want? I hope by now you have done so.

I use essential oils and look for it in the personal products I buy when I want something to smell nice. If there are petroleum-based fragrances in a product, they are guaranteed to give me a headache and a eczema-like rash (or worse, hives). I found that my clothes are soft enough without dryer sheets or softener so I don’t buy them. My opinion is that if we don’t buy the products then they won’t make them! Nice article. Thank you for this info.

Consumers have the right to know what they are taking from the manufacturers of the products they’re buying. It’s not that the components/ingredients are not disclosed, they’re just something that you have to find out yourself through research. Like blood pressure machines, all we know is that they’re for blood pressure. But we don’t know how they are made so as to do what it is made to do.

Every woman I work with has started to wear an enormous (to me) amount of perfume, and every day I get a mild to bad headache. I want to say, Women: I should only be smelling your chemicals if I’m kissing your neck! Not from 3 desks away!

To me, perfume smells like chemicals with the added bonus of weird fake fragrance.

I run a fan at my desk all year round, even if it’s freezing, to try to circulate the smells away from me.

The more you fight something, the more anxious you become —the more you’re involved in a bad pattern, the more difficult it is to escape
