WWYD fragrance allergy

[Anonymous]

If you were dating someone who told you she has a shellfish allergy, would you feed her shellfish because you don't believe her?

What would you think of someone who doesn't believe his date has a serious medical allergy to fragrance?

We have fragrance free products now for a reason.

Since the age of 15, I have suffered from a fragrance allergy. I have needed to go to the emergency room twice. I require a prescription hydrocortisone cream at times.

It's not as bad as it once was.

The man I'm dating and had sex with 2x doesn't understand. He is a highly educated lawyer. He doesn't understand his cologne and his laundry detergent could be causing me a skin allergic reaction.

I can't go out with him anymore.

Break up. I’m puzzled how you can physically have sex with someone wearing an allergen, though.

Because there is no such thing as a serious medical allergy to fragrance. It’s not a thing. But please break with him and enjoy the solitude. Or maybe your find a kid to your pot.

I can't anymore.

I told him when we met I was allergic to fragrance. I asked him not to wear any cologne.

I am not allergic to anything else, not dogs, cats, penicillin, bee stings, peanuts, or shellfish.

I just have this sensitivity to some fragrances. Sunscreens for example must be fragrance free.

Some outgrow their perfume allergy, but there's no definitive cure. Management involves avoidance and carrying allergy medications.

I would consider it serious not life threatening but not a joke when a prescription medication is required.

Please do tell, what medication treats this ailment? Don’t say Xanax!

"Sorry, I cant sleep with you while I'm having an allergic reaction to your cologne."

I bet he'd stop wearing it pretty quick.

A cream for a nasal allergy? Mmmkkkaaayyy. This might be a medical issue but it’s of a psychological kind.

OP, I get it. I had a guy I was dating put something I couldn't eat into a meal. He was clueless.

It's an allergic skin reaction to fragrance.

When you sought emergency medical care, what intervention was needed?

Are you an allergist? A medical professional who studies allergy?

If not, then STFU

There is definitely severe allergy to fragrance.

I have become seriously ill from exposure to air freshener -- headaches, dizziness, overall ill feeling -- twice.

I can't wear any sort of fragrance, can't use skin care products, no fragrances in my home, no scented cleaning products, or I become ill.

If you don't suffer from it, then STFU and mind your own business.

My BF has strong reactions to scents (headaches, sneezing, etc) but he is also the king of seasonal allergies (and is also allergic to cats). There are very few products that don't make him irritated in the sinuses. I just....went and bought those products. I did have to do a long search for fragrance-free hair product that works, but whatever.
