I'm serious. I am very allergic to perfumes in products. If I spend just a few minutes with someone who wears too much perfume/cologne, I pretty much cough and choke for the next two hours.
Yes and no. I've adapted and know what to avoid. It can be difficult on occasion, even just standing in line near someone with too much smell good on, or staying somewhere overnight if I'm allergic to the laundry products used. But it sounds like you have the same issues.
Understand...I've had people think that, too, until they saw me choke or break out in a rash. People don't get how serious it can be. My last reaction caused my throat to swell almost shut, among other things.
This is ambiguous. Is the *sniffs* the stifling of the urge to cry for the joy of my unexpected arrival or an olfactory reaction to my letting a few off?
