Boy Cheilgirl...I have not read anywhere that someone is attacking you personally but I am seeing it that you are the one doing the attacking here.
I have not seen one person make fun of a disability or you here .
I also never claimed to have a medical degree. Nor do I see where I was trying to be funny.

These women and men bathe in the stuff and think that they smell good? I run the other way whenever possible and if I'm in an elevator, I attempt to hold by breath or cover my nose and mouth. The commercial stuff is vile and seeps into the pores which in turn can affect the organs. These people wearing the crap not only have no sense of smell, they have no sense, period!

The cosmetic industry is deregulated enough to produce this poison and I say ...sue them!

Anyone who knows anything about perfume would have to have read Jitterbug Perfume.

Not one of his best, but worth a read.

A good source for education about MCS would be MCS America http://www.mcs-america.org/

I guess you didn't read what you posted.
You assumed medical treatment, accused people who are disabled of being alarmists, etc.
Yeah, so how's that medical degree working for you? You seem to have no trouble making prognosis.

Ambergris.

What? - No disapproval of Chemtrails?

With all the hypocrisy, I am seriously considering the probability that much of Multiple Chemical Sensitivity is a disorder of Agenda-Somatic Acquirement and Manifestation of Hypochondriasis, a disease brought on by, and maintained with, propagandistic hypnosis such as with the establishment's insistence that Morgellons is simply a "delusional" parasitosis.

"Most doctors, including dermatologists and psychiatrists, regard Morgellons as a manifestation of known medical conditions, including delusional parasitosis, although the Mayo Clinic says that some health professionals believe that Morgellons disease is a specific condition likely to be confirmed by future research."

If people are willfully assaulting me and won't stop, I take it the extra step.
That's exactly what it is, too, an assault.
Overdosing perfume is an office no no and flagrant lack of professionalism in business. They really should have done something and how lame that anyone has to raise a lawsuit to be taken seriously?

As for dept stores, I used to hate those Macy girls that would get aggressive and spray you as you walked by. I already had perfume on and the two didn't mix.

Another place you'll never be gainfully employed is in the post office on magazine delivery day. Those hundreds of perfume card inserts collectively made the place smell like a wh*re house on saturday night. It was uncomfortable even for me and I have no allergies, nor trapped in the building for 8 hrs.

Too true.
I haven't been in a department store in almost 2 decades because of the fragrance sprays, the Body Works (or whatever they call them), the fragrance carts, etc.

I only subscribe to three or four periodicals, the rest I read on-line. I had to cancel almost everything.

I've been very lucky living in Asia & Europe where people don't feel the need to mask their own pheramones with store bought scents.

One of the funny things I've learned about pheramones is that we're naturally attracted to certain scents. If they're masked by toxic, industry strenght chemicals you may not know your partner's scent until it's too late. Followed by divorce.

If your allergies are that severe there are shots.

I find it simple . I just remove myself from the situation.

When my grandson started school there was a mother who greeted every single person as they came into the schoolyard with a flyer stating that HER child had a peanut allergy among other allergies and nobody will be exempt from her list as SHE will make sure that NOBDOY would put HER child in danger and she was asking to check everyone's lunch and snack and if they refused THEY would be subject to a lawsuit as her husband was a lawyer...
Some people take it way too far.
I think it should have stopped at the mother teaching her kid to be responsible enough not to eat peanuts, she seems to be a helicopter parent that wants everyone else to watch over her kid while shes not around and does it with threats. Why should every other kid have to walk on egg shells because her little baby has peanut allergies. I would have told her to go f**k herself.

aveojohn I so agree with that. Some people really take it too far. I feel bad for that 6 year old child because right off the bat, first day of school, the mother ruined it for him.
I work with children and I have in the last year had two children with severe allergies and nobody made a huge deal about it. I worked around it the days the kids were here and also had an epipen on hand.
