You are so right about the fragrance problem. I do not have allergies but I do have a hyper sensitividy to fragrances. Ever as I walk daily thru our neighborhood, the fragrance from the scented drier sheets can be smelled outside. Due to scents, I have had to move from church seats, restaurants and some stores in the mall. A few doctors' post no fragrance signs.
Thank you for bringing up this subject. Perhaps, those who wear scents will be advised how it affects those with allerigies and those without allergies.

@shaneilya I notice the dryer sheet fragrances outside too in the neighborhood. I am glad for the doctors who post and enforce no fragrances policies. I have been at hospitals before (not Mayo) where a nurse comes in to check on the admitted patient and in with her comes a cloud of fragrance that lingers long after she is gone. Frustrating if medical personnel don't recognize it. I think once a person becomes hyper-sensitized to fragrances, they don't have a choice to stop that from happening. I do have HEPA air filters that also have activated carbon to absorb VOCs from the air.
