I am trying not to be a hypochondriac with synthetic chemicals, but I cannot hold back my aversion for household products containing "fragrance."
A. The smell is not good. I do not understand how anyone can think old lady perfume or Oxi-Clean smells nice. It doesn't! It is nauseating!
B. Maybe this is purely psychosomatic, but clothes laundered in fragrance-containing detergents make me feel angry, emotionally volatile, and highly serotonergic in a bad way. Also a little bit jittery and delirious. I get the same effect from Febreze, only with that I also get headaches and respiratory discomfort.
Can anyone else confirm this? My guess is that whatever chemicals are lumped into "fragrance" are endocrine disruptors, probably estrogenic.
