@lisalucier Hi Lisa, I was wondering if it’s okay to mention specific brands on this sight. For quite a while I didn’t realize that perfumes and scents and preservatives were triggers for me and I’ve recently discovered that my scent free detergent was still a trigger. I’ve found brands of detergent, soaps and shampoo that I find safe for me and would be happy to share the names if it’s ok. I also make my own body creams and cleaners. If anyone else has suggestions I’d like to hear them if it’s allowed. I realize we’re all different in out sensitivity but it might be helpful
@lisalucier I will be asking my respirologist if he knows but the approach so far has been awareness of chemicals as the cause of my irritant asthma, avoidance of the chemicals and treatment of symptoms. My dermatologist referred me to a specialist to eliminate allergy as a cause but I don’t think they know how to broadly test irritation from chemical reactions. If I find anything out I will pass it on.
