Scented candles ????????

[Nik37]

Can Scented candles make me more breathless???? Does anyone else have problems with candles? ? ? Pls xx

Hi Nik37, yes, I think most of us are affected by things like candles, room sprays, burners, cleaners, etc. Best to avoid them if possible. Just another set of things to add to the list Nik. x

They certainly can make you breathless Nik. My wife is the biggest candle lover in the world but I have had to ban them, they really got to me.

I find the scented candles affect me very badly , also a lot of things in shops do , there are many shops i cant go into now .

[Nik37 in reply to zaney]

Thank u I think thats what has beendoing me in

[mustcarryon in reply to zaney]

Yes, i'm the same, in 2 stores the staff have had to help me with a chair and glasses of water. It's hard to grasp the problems we actually face when all we want is to do a bit of shopping.

Hi Nick37,

Not sure about the candles but those plug in air fresheners effect my breathing, and aerosols are a defiinate no no.

[Nik37 in reply to SusanneH]

Thanks wil be getting rid of all today

[Nik37]

Thank u all I will be getting rid if all candles and air freshners today been realky poorly with my breathing as had infection added with candles ect ended up in hospital now I know why

[CornishBrian]

I used to work nights in Tescos and certain aisles were off limits to me. Candles was number one....without them being lit. Air freshners were the next and on the shop floor of the bakery was also bad.....they might be browning the bread but the small particles of carbon in the air were bad....real bad.

Thankss Brian

so far i have been alright with scented candles, but i do have problems with the soap powder aisle in supermarkets i get through them as quick as i can marian xx

[Nik37 in reply to snow54flake]

I shop online most of the time as easier for me

[Ruth462]

I found it isn't the scent but the quality of the oil/fat that they are made with.

Cheap tea lights being the worst culprit.

Beeswax - no issue!

[Nik37 in reply to Ruth462]

I normally burn yankee candles or glade but not going to burn any now x

[O2Trees in reply to Ruth462]

Ive posted here before that most candles are made from petroleum, hardly surprising we have problems with them!

[onamission]

I like yankee candles but the only two I can tolerate is fresh linin or baby pwder

[sc1983]

I can't use anything that has a scent. It is good that you found a trigger though so you can stop using it

[Nik37 in reply to sc1983]

Yeah definitely and think it getting more andd things for me to not buy or get rid .

[becraftygirl]
