The dangers of fragrances to those of us with breathing difficulties

I have this issue. Natural products with scent are often okay. Manufactured scents are devastating. Makes life difficult. Just have to do the best I can. Thanks for sharing. Good to know that I'm not alone.

@mjo4094 I also struggle with manufactured fragrances. I can do okay with products made from essential oils only, but I have a lot of wheezing/chest tightness issues with faux fragrances.
I also have trouble going by perfume counters in department stores, and about 3-4 years ago I finally gave up wearing any fragrance personally. I was sad at the time, but I feel so much better and know I'm not adding to my own problems.
Walking by homes where laundry is going with fragrances from laundry soap escaping the vents is also really hard on my allergies and asthma.
mjo4094 - Any suggestions on how to de- fragrance your world and kindly encourage others to help by not contributing more challenging fragrances?
