Perfumes in Schools

[earthgirl1338]

I am doing a research paper about perfumes in schools. I am doing the paper on both sides of the issue and the effects that perfume has on the body. My stand is that perfume shouldn't be sprayed or carried in school. I don't really care if they wear it. I just want some more views other than that my classmates'. I would like to know your guys’ opinions.

I looked at your suggestion, but that site specifies in food allergies. I'm mainly looking for opinions

Why are you taking a stand that it should not be sprayed or carried?

The food allergies are a primary concern on that site, but fragrances are an issue that is covered as well, more in depth, by the people who do the program. Perhaps write to the site owners, tell them what you are doing and ask if they can give input or put you in contact with people who would give you input.

I react to certain airfresheners with migraines, so it really bothers me when people think it is better to mask odors than to supply adequate air flow and cleanliness to make foul odors dissipate quickly.

Good luck with it!

Perfume is worse right after it is sprayed. I don't think it should be carried becouse 1) If they carry it, they're going to spray 2) If the perfume bottle breaks, then someone sensitive to that perfume, can't go into that area for almost an entire day
