Pretty self explanatory title, right? I know, I know: Who would do that? The answer: a lot more people than you would expect.
Where I live, a Los Angeles suburb, there are many flashy women who feel the need to wear an excess of their perfume when running their daily errands; I'm not sure who they're trying to impress. Granted, they have probably built up a tolerance and are unaware that they’re actually drowning in their perfume, and drowning other people with them. Most of all, though, they are ignorant to the harsh effects that their chemicals have on people living with MCAS. Normally, my MCAS flares to my own fault. I’ll usually eat something I know will make me feel bad. But, sometimes, the flare is caused by something I have no control over, as simple as a whiff of a candle or in most cases the chemicals in perfume, which can set me back for a week or even longer. I’ll eat hardly anything, won’t leave the house, and basically just be miserable until the flare calms down and the effects eventually wear off. A message to all perfume lovers: I completely understand the desire to smell good with perfume on a date night or a night out on the town. But during the day, when you are running errands, there is no point as to wearing an excess of perfume. Please, try to restrain yourselves know that you know the negative effects that chemical scents can have on others.
