I have asthma and the worst thing for it is perfume.

Ditto. A guy walked up behind me at the VP a few nights ago. He had on so much cologne that he sent be into an attack. Between gasps, I told him it was his cologne. He gave me all kinds of dirty looks because he made me sick.

One thing that helps my asthma is everything in our house is non-scented - dish detergent, laundery detergent, shampoo,cleaners, etc. It's amazing how much it's helped. No air fresheners, little trees hanging from the rear view mirror, etc.
Also having eucalyptus oil around - I put a drop on collar or shirt neck and breathe the smell - it can help clear the bronchials right up.
