Sweet smelling!
Or
Sweet smelling and toxic!
Invisible attacks are taking place as I type throughout the Western world.
I'll leave negative people out of this, but we sensitive folks know to reorganize vultures out of our lives to avoid their toxic drain.
Indeed, it may be easier to get rid toxic people than toxic products that are mislabeled and paraded around TV commercials as safe and effective.
Take well-financed companies that promote these toxic chemicals as sweet and clean. Take them, please. Out of my life.
Bounce!
The first time I picked up a scented Bounce fabric softener sheet, I naively put it near my nose to smell the sweetness that the label promised.
Five minutes later.
Nausea, pounding head like a gorilla sitting on it, combined with sensitivity to light, sound, and any tiny movement, ensued.
I'd learn this was a very bad migraine.
Too sick to go to the hospital, a week later I ended up at the doctor's office buying super-expensive medicine should that sort of migraine occur again. It didn't. But don't you think the makers of Bounce should have paid the medical bill? I don't recall a migraine disclaimer on their label.
The next day I threw out all indoor air fresheners and car fresheners that intuitively I never used, and since then I remained chemical-free except for occasional perfume.
My favorite: Flowerbomb by Viktor Rolf. If only that company cared to send a sample like...
The other day, a company asked me to try: What Odor?
The label on What Odor? says it's a non-toxic, non-hazardous product made of natural oils. An eco-friendly odor eliminator spray made of 40 essential oils that is safe and effective near pets and children and those with allergy sensitivities.
The active ingredients break down odor-causing
bacteria, rather than mask it, leaving behind a fresh, clean scent.
Okay, let's go!
It's the first product I sprayed cautiously far from my face in years.
True.
I didn't get a head-ache.
The label says to spray mist evenly over area and odors will start to fade.
They did.
The label also says Keep Out of Reach of Children and don't spray toward face, if you get in eyes, rinse thoroughly with water, seek medical attention if irritation persists. Yet it also says it's safe for pets, humans, the environment and furniture.
Mixed messages? Or covering their ....
Just because you can't see indoor invisible pollution doesn't mean it isn't there to disturb your well-being and blood-flow, negatively impacting your lungs and head, and in my case, after trying Bounce, migraine.
Prevent bad pollution from getting in. Read labels. And I suggest throwing out all sweet smelling yet toxic cleaners and air fresheners: They are bad for your health and bad for the planet when they get washed down the drain.
Buy non-toxic air fresheners and cleaners instead.
