Strong perfumes do the same thing to me - I get all stuffed up, start coughing and my eyes get runny.

You are not alone!

some people are so oblivious and ignorant about how what they're doing -- especially in a small enclosed space like a bus -- around other people, affects other people! any perfume or cologne especially artifical smelling crap is not okay on a bus, elevator, office, public place, and we don't have to bathe ourselves dripping in fruit either. bathe every day and wear fresh clean clothes and non scented anti persperant. who the hell wants to smell like artificial fruit crap like so many of these shampoos and bath oils today. not natural at all. i'm okay with REAL organic lavendar, rose, or natural scents or simply fresh air.

part of me is so sad and afraid of the state of the world because of this. if people are so inconsiderate about these small things, what about the larger issues?

so many people are so completely detached about how we are all connected -- everyone -- everywhere.

what goes around comes around.

I get super dizzy, and instant headaches.
It's terrible!
