[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can be allergic to smell.  Sorry, not possible.  You can be allergic to an underlying food protein that you have inhaled or you can have a skin reaction to coming in contact with an underlying ingredient in say perfume but just smelling something does not create an allergic reaction. [/quote]

Why can't you have an allergic reaction from smelling something? Why couldn't whatever compounds/molecules that create a scent cause a histamine reaction when it comes in contact with membranes in the mouth, lungs, eyes or nose??

Even if there wasn't scientific evidence for it (and there is), common sense should tell you that some people may have a reaction to compounds that you don't. We all know that when the membranes of some people come in contact with pollen, pet dander, dust, onions, tear gas, etc. that there can be a histamine response. Why wouldn't some people react to compounds in scented products?
