@rosemarya @taarthi the hospital I was in for my knee replacement is a “scent free zone”, no scented creams allowed so you might want to check on that at your hospital. It seemed rather restrictive since all the rooms are private but the hospital personnel must have requested that. Some scents can be quite strong.

Thank you for pointing this out!
It does raise a question for me, now, because I was thinking about the 'original scent' daily type of hand lotions (like baby lotion for example). They are not heavily scented or perfumed. This is interesting, because there are many individuals who are sensitive to perfumes.

You are absolutely right in suggesting to check with the hospital, first.

Thanks for bringing the 'scent' issue to my attention! Here is a discussion from the Lung Health Group: Fragrances and Asthma / Allergies
