Perfumes are made of toxic
chemicals that can injure your health. Many of the chemicals in perfume are the same chemicals in cigarette smoke, and yet there is no regulation of the fragrance industry. Many people are “bothered”by perfumes - developing headaches, sinus problems, and even asthma from exposures. Many have gotten sick or even disabled from wearing fragrances and using other scented products. Fragrances are now used in almost every cleaning, laundry, and personal care product on the market. These chemicals go directly into the bloodstream when applied to our skin and are also absorbed into the skin from our clothing. We also inhale the chemical fumes, which then go straight to our brains where they can do major harm. Many even have a “narcotic” effect, which is why some people seem “addicted” to their perfumes. For years I wore perfumes and one day i was getting awful migraines. When I went to the doctor after doing some tests they did confirm it was the perfume I was wearing. If you have a favorite perfume or cologue you like that is great, but I thought this was useful information for people to know…
