Thread Name: BS: Scent Free Environment
Subject: RE: BS: Scent Free Environment
For those of you who don't understand the problem, scents attack the lungs and I suffered a stroke two years ago because of exposure to these allergens when I couldn't breathe. I agree a light perfume should not be a problem. However, in my office, two girls recently reacted to the knowledge of my allergies by intentionally spraying perfume in my work cubicle several times per day. To me this is life threatening, I must leave the area immediately and it has caused me no end of stress. My husband is so upset that I have been placed in this situation in a professional work environment after years of working in this office that he has vowed that if I have another stroke he will lay criminal charges against the girls for aggravated assault. These perfumes are no different than any other weapon when used in this manner, in much the same way aids can be intentionally used to endanger another person's life.
