Satsuma Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 While strong odours and scented products (among many other things) may act as an irritant to trigger an asthmatic attack, they do not cause asthma – the predisposition to bronchial inflammation and swelling is a pre-existing condition. Both allergic reactions and asthma, can be aggravated by strong smells which can act as a non-specific irritant to the inflamed airways of the sufferer. However, what is an irritant or trigger for one person may not be for another so it is essential to know which irritants and/or triggers create a problem for an individual and avoid them.

rogerroger Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 If you are sick in the hospital the last thing you want to smell is some strong artificial scent. You already have the smell of poop and vomit and other things around. The last thing we need is someone's axe body spray wafting through the air... Even if you exclude asthma from the picture there are other reasons why perfumes should stay outside the hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futureGP Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 either way, if it can trigger an asthmatic attack, you want to avoid that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
