One thing - is your home relatively new? The building materials now commonly in use contain a lot of chemicals. This is very unscientific, but perhaps you are loaded up in your home, which is tolerable, but the addition of the scent is the tipping point. It seems to me with all the chemicals we encounter, if you start throwing in their various combinations and individual human beings, it would be plausible.One thing my folks did is to start opening a couple of windows in the house a tiny bit, while waiting for the contractor to install the fan. After a couple of weeks, Mama started to improve and after a couple months with the fresh air her migraines were gone. That would be a low tech solution to possibly try, but be forewarned your cooling/heating bill will rise.---JM

I have lived in four different states, all with very different climates, since becoming sentitive to fragrances. My last home was built in the 50s; this one, in 83.

Can’t afford to let my cooling bill rise any more than it has! Moving to Florida, the AC costs were a huge shock.
