Re: why do they have to sell Xmas trees

[Guest guest]

do they have them inside?  Our store has them outside at one door, but we have

the option of going in the other door and avoiding the trees.  We have had one

real tree in the last thirty or so years and before we brought it in the house,

my husband hosed it down twice and then we took it out the Saturday after that

Christmas.  My allergist said it was the dust and all of the other stuff in the

air that collected on them outside that was such a problem.  My son and I fared

fairly well that year, but that was the end of real Christmas trees.....no more

after that! 

 

And I agree with you about the Mall.  Fortunately we now have quite a number of

open malls--the businesses all open to the outside, so you can pick and choose

which one you wish to go in!

 

Trust you are feeling better.  Weren't you having trouble getting approval again

for your xolair?  Or do I have you confused with one of the other members?

 

I have been getting my shot every six weeks and so far it has worked out okay,

although I do have days of sob where I don't get quite as much done.

 

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving

at the grocery store? I can choose to avoid the mall, with all the

phony holiday scents and people trying to spray stuff on you every 10

feet, but I cannot avoid the grocery store.

The trees are outside. I guess I'm feeling extra " threatened " b/c it

was me having problems with reauthorization. My Xolair arrived

today!!

I am so glad you got your xolair!  I know that even if the trees are outside the

pollen still fills the air and it is hard if you have to walk by them to get

into the store.....

 

Hope the xolair helps again in quick fashion!

 

Happy Thanksgiving.

I know what you mean. Everywhere I go seems to have bags and bags of scented

pine cones.

Those evil little things are going to be the death of me! I guess we're just

suppposed to stay

home until January.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

 

Along the lines of strong scents/smells that cause immediate problems for

asthmatics, did anyone see the Internet article where a Florida worker is being

allowed to bring suit against a co-worker for wearing strong perfume in the work

place?  It didn't say too much except that the judge was allowing the suit! 

Maybe that will help open the eyes of the more of the public to the problems

people have with scents, including cigarette smoke.

 

Hope the holidays go well for all of you.....

It has never ceased to amaze me that many of the same people that

decry cigarette smell, and other scents, etc that bothers them, burns

incense and dumps cologne and perfume on themselves by the cupful

because it " smells good " and certainly no one else would complain

about my expensive $2.98 cologne.

You should be sensitive but I do not have too be. Do as I say, not as

I do.

Here's a pathetic one for ya.

 

November of 2004 I had an allergic reaction to " something " , suffered anaphalaxia

( sp?) and went in to respiratory failure.  While I was in ICU recovering an RT

came into give me a Xopenex treatment.  This guy  REEKED from either cologne,

aftershave, or deodorant . I told him he needed to find someone else to give me

my treatments because what ever he had on was totally bothering me and it was

defeating  the purpose of my treatment.  This idiot then said... " so what I need

to not wear the stuff! " I was like HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Exactly what kind of

patients are you supposed to be treating again?!

 

Up side of that whole mess was that I finally had  given the insurance company

a  " valid reason " for me to start taking Xolair! More so because I had stuck

them with a $40k bill!

I haven't seen that!! If they are at the point where the " judge is

allowing " the suit to continue, that should mean that they've gotten

past the initial motions to dismiss which suggests any or all of the

following:

1) allergic worker had notified co-worker of allergies

2) allergic worker has documentation in writing

3) co-worker repeatedly did it anyway

4) allergic worker had reaction at work

5) supervisors...what did they do? suit is just against the co-worker.

Now I'm curious. I'll look it up.

THe link I found says a Detroit city employee is suing the city, and

that the judge found the suit may have merit under the Americans with

Disabilities Act.

I'll see if I can find it again, too.  I believe that the co-worker had been

notified several times, had taken the " plug-in scented thing " out, but continued

to wear heavy scented perfume, and after being notified again, the allergic

person had filed suit.  The article didn't reveal much more except that the

judge was allowing the suit to go to court.

 

I could wish that it would make some big headlines as a message to all wearers

of heavy perfume!

I believe that is the one I had seen, but I thought it was a suit against the

co-worker, but I guess if the supervisor did nothing, then the suit could be

against the employer, i.e. the city of Detroit for not providing for a person

with a disability. I should go back and read it again.

 

At least I think this gives hope to those of us bothered by strong scents--of

any kind!

I also found the one in Detroit which said that as of May, 2008, trial was still

pending, but I didn't find the article I saw yesterday.....It seems to have

disappeared...I'm probably not putting in the right words to search for it.
