[quote=Anonymous]I am a huge migraine sufferer and it is resistant to medication, so I get why some of the migraine sufferers are getting upset on this thread. Migraines are the worst.

However.

Among the things that trigger my migraines: weather, alcohol, stress, lack of sleep, and screens. Yes, strong smells can trigger them as well, or can make them much worse, if I'm subjected to the smell for a long period of time and it is overpowering. Like I have gotten migraines due to the cleaner used in my office, or from construction activity in my apartment building. I can imagine getting a migraine from sustained exposure to someone wearing a lot of perfume. If I worked with someone like this, I would simply report it to my boss or HR with the note from my doctor about my migraines, like I did regarding the use of cleaning solution in my office, and I feel confident it would be dealt with quickly, by either moving me away from the perfume wearer or requesting that they stop wearing it or something. Work tends to get very accommodating when you are willing to fill out paperwork and have a doctor's note, I've found.

But no one gets a migraine from someone wearing a dab of perfume on their wrists and neck. No one. I do this daily. It is how most people wear perfume and it is incredibly subtle. Even if it's cheap perfume, even if it stinks. No one is getting a migraine from the way I wear perfume. If it's not giving me a migraine, it's definitely not giving you a migraine. I regularly smell shampoo that is stronger than most people's perfume, because some people's hair really hold onto smells. Again. No one is getting a migraine from this unless it's very strong and you have no choice but to be around it for an extended period.[/quote]
