I end up with horrible migraines and a friend of mine can die from it. It also has hangtime when people walk by. I have become quite adept at holding my breath.

I hate it when the girls here at school wear that God-awful smelling perfume. Just because they like it, doesn't mean the whole world wants to smell it on them. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE perfume, but I also think that people should use it in moderation and not take an entire bath in it.

Would you rather be smelling B.O.?

yeah, didn't think so.

what's wrong with deodorant?

There are efficient fragrance free toiletries on the market. There aren't just two options: reek of horrid chemicals or stink of sweat. There is another way.

Actually, yes. But seriously, there are options. I bathe with unscented soap, use unscented deoderant and the person who snuggles next to me at the end of the day never says a word about BO.

I cannot fathom why people insist on wearing fragrance when others get sick because of it. Ah, the olfactory symphony of an early morning busride: every passenger smells strongly and differently. If you have to wear it because you smell, just wash and wear clean clothes.

No I don't want to smell B.O. ... but that doesn't mean the person opposed to deodorant shouldn't be fired for not wearing any. There's nothing worse than someone who smells bad, but on the same note just as bad are the people who shower in cologne and make my eyes burn. Which is why I think it should be banned.

having severe allergies myself i have to agree...unscented products can be used
