Most people do not understand fragrance allergies. Sadly, some who do, don't care. It is another of those hidden illnesses like fibro that people claim are all in your head. I wish some folks could spray their hairspray into the back of their throat for just a few seconds....not even the 8 hours I have to deal with it at work and the 12 hour recovery period when I get home. Maybe they would see this is real, not just something I have made up to torment them.
