Not just the candles. I used to be able to walk down the cleaning products aisle in the grocery store 20 years ago. Can't do it now and breathe at the same time. I don't know if something changed in me or if it is just more and more and more "if it doesn't stink, it isn't good" additions to most everything. Gotta have those scented candles, gotta plug some stink generator into the wall. I think natural fragrances are safe, it is the man made ones that cause pain. We are pretty much fragrance free in this house. "Unscented" often means they cover up one scent with others such that the combination doesn't "smell" but it will still cause pain to susceptible people because the chemicals are still there.
When we bought this house it came with a washer and dryer. No matter what DW did she could NOT get the stink out of those machines. We finally gave them away and bought new ones.
Way back when people thought bathing was unsafe they used lots of perfume to cover up their stink. Now they buy stink to cover up smells in the house or to create them.
Folks, clean doesn't smell!
how many different animals do you have?
