Oh yes, I had to stop using fabric softener, it not only made my asthma really bad, it made me itch, and get a miserable rash. I used the lavender for a long time, and really did not realize that it was making me sick, I thought it was something else. That was hard for me because I love the smell of lavender, but I have found out that some products that smell like that make me very sick, others are okay, so I just stay away from most of it.

Some scents bother me more than others so I have to be very careful, too. I live in a smaller apartment house with a couple of private homes around me. One neighbor uses some pretty strong dryer sheets and the vent opens on the side of her house facing ours. I can't walk past the vent while her dryer is running. I also have to be careful what I use at home. As far as the "green cleaners" advertised on that site, I can't afford a lot of that stuff. BTW, this is an asthma list, so links for advertisements are considered spam. If this website is something to seriously help people with asthma, ok. I looked at that site and I think some of it can be helpful here. Thanks, Co-Moderator To: "asthma " <asthma > Sent: Monday, April 2, 2012 11:36 PM Subject: Re: Green cleaners are helping allergies!

Well, that is interesting, first time I though of those things bothering someone. I guess we all have our assorted triggers. I live in this high rise apts, and everytime someone burns a candle or uses fabric softener I have to open all of my doors and windows and turn the heater or air conditioner on and my air cleaners just to live here. Nothing you can do about it. Trying to move to a private apt again, should have stayed there, this is not the nicest place to live. Way too many people and too many odd smells and irritants.

I have problems with Ethylene gas which is produced in the aisle

containing fruits and veggies in the supermarket. I need to speed

through that aisle or skip it entirely. And in the winter with

Christmas Decorations are up I have many problems with those

decorations.
