Allergy or is it an irritant?
Dear Bloggers,
My wife came home this week with hardly any voice left due to the fact that someone sprayed some kind of perfume. The doctor gives her prednisone for a week and this will do the magic. But it is crap that you have to use these kind of heavy drugs when this could be prevented on the work floor.
Just ask yourself the following question: If you sneeze every time you get a whiff of perfume or room deodorizer, you may be one of millions of people with a fragrance sensitivity.
As many as 30 percent of people surveyed in a study said that they find scented products irritating. Those with asthma or chemical sensitivities may find strong scents particularly problematic due to the allergy-like symptoms they cause.
Unlike tree pollen or dander, for example, perfumes and scents aren't actually allergens, they're irritantsbut that doesn't mean that they can't trigger allergy symptoms like sneezing.
Hmmmm.....So what's the difference between an allergen and an irritant…
