Allergies to scents can be fatal. There are all types of allergic reaction up to and including toxic shock and respiratory failure.
Furthermore, many allergic reactions get more severe with each subsequent occurrence.
Blaming this woman for her allergy is like blaming someone for their cancer - those that are suggesting she is “the problem” should all be ashamed of yourselves.
People who truly believe that an individual's "problem", real or imagined, should control the lives of everyone else should be ashamed of themselves.
Opinions. Differences.
Happened in Bloomingdale's----a shopper was sprayed by an employee hawking perfume. Shopper had to be rushed to the hospital. Musta been horrendous----expensive perfumes usually have "fixatives" to make the scent last.
Another horrendous peanut allegy story: a woman in a RI restaurant ate chili. She was highly allergic to peanuts and began to have symptons that she overlooked since in her mind she had not consumed peanuts.
However, she did not know the eatery used peanut butter in its chili (as a thickener). It cost her her life.
“Furthermore, many allergic reactions get more severe with each subsequent occurrence”
This is true. I began getting headaches from (most) perfumes two years ago and it has gotten progressively worse.
It’s very unfortunate that there are so many uncaring people out there that put the blame on the sufferers.
