A Consumer Guide to Fragrance Allergies

Has this ever happened to you? You walk into a room, or a specific aisle in a store or you detect the scent of the new laundry detergent you are using, and suddenly you start sneezing or even feel dizzy? This is something that happens on a daily basis to millions of people. If this is the case you may be suffering from a fragrance allergy.

Fragrance allergy is simply defined as a condition where people are allergic to a particular scent. This scent could be in everyday products, the environment or included in personal care products. The result of these allergies can range from sneezing and coughing to severe respiratory distress. While the majority of sufferers of fragrance allergies have modest discomfort, this is a growing concern that should be addressed.

The symptoms of a particular allergy to a smell vary from person to person. Generally, the most common symptom is repeated sneezing when the person is around a particular aroma. It could be just a few sneezes because they have a tickle in their nose or a more violent series of sneezes. Other symptoms can include rashes, itching or even blistering on the skin.

One of the biggest challenges in determining the cause of the condition is to isolate the allergy. While it is possible that the cause could be from a fragrance allergy, some of the other possible causes can include colds, environmental allergies, or other chemical reactions that are happening around you. Therefore in order to treat this properly, it is recommended that you seek medical help in figuring out what you are allergic to and then taking the proper course of action.
