Re: Hypersensitivity to smells - article

[Guest guest]

I am not surprised. I react to some smells - especially citrus fruit being

peeled. I sit up in mild alarm or surprise if anyone is eating an orange within

15-20 feet of me, or maybe more.

This is one of the things I suffer from (unoffically diagnosed with SPD). My mom has to be really careful with what she brings into the house. I have to smell test any body wash, everything I use is either a really mild scent or unscented.

Hi,

I found this article in ScienceDaily.

It does not mention sound hypersensitivity, but some people have also strong reactions to smells... just like misophonia.

" The hypersensitive individuals felt that the smell was getting stronger even though its concentration had not changed. Their brain activity images also differed from those in the other group, "

I have heard about people being sensitive to smells. My mom told me about an

article she read where this woman hated the smell of body odor. If someone had

armpit odor, she could detect it from pretty far away, and she hated it. She

could smell it from far away, while others could not. I also know a lady who is

allergic to sweet smells. If she smells the scent of Jasmine, she gets an

instant migraine headache and throws up. She cannot stand any kinds of sweet

smells, no perfumes, her laundry detergents (and fabric softeners) have to be

unscented, etc. The only perfume she can tolerate is Chantilly. She cannot

tolerate the smell of Pine Sol floor cleaner and other things like that. It's

really hard for her because some of her neighbors have Jasmine growing in their

gardens. In the spring time when it blooms, she gets very sick.
