    Default Chemical Sensitivity!

    It's getting worse! Or maybe the entire world is coming into my store wearing essential oils (ylang ylang specifically), or perfumes or...something! Oh, don't forget smoke! I swear, person after person kept coming in. Soon the smells all mixed together and just lingered in the air. I got a piercing headache, watery/burning eyes, nausea, light headed and dizzy. I hope I don't offend, but don't people smell themselves!? My store is little and when 10 people fill the store with all different perfumes and or smoke it's not fun! I try to hide in the tiny back room, but it follows me some how haha.

    Had to vent! I'm not sure if there's a thing I can do about it excpet try to walk away. haha, I suggested we post a sign "if you're wearing perfum or smoke, go away!" lol. Not too good for business though is it?

    Got the same problem. At home even. With all these teenage boys that think they need to drown themselves in Axe. Can't tell you how many containers of that stuff I have tossed!

    This was discussed on Rawkin' Radio - show #20.

    I remember as a kid gagging in church because not only the stinky "old lady" perfumes were gagging me, but back in the day old women wore fox wraps (complete with face and the mouth had a spring thing that attached itself to it's tale!), which their eyes would look at me through the entire service. These women always had the head and tale behind their heads. How barbaric is this? I think that's why I went Vegetarian. Those dear foxes watching me during church service!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I know my senses have become stronger. Smell, taste, feel, hearing, all of them with eating raw...

    oh I haven't figured out how to listen to the show yet.

    If you remember those poor critters you must also remember the mens' foot powder stinking and the women's beaded veils on their church hats. Ech! What torture it was!
