"I think it's a great first step," says Sheryl Kirby, a Toronto resident who says she suffers from multiple chemical sensitivity. Multiple chemical sensitivity is a controversial affliction not recognized as a distinct physical disorder by several American medical groups, including the American Medical Association. The Canadian Medical association hasn't taken a position on multiple chemical sensitivity. Kirby says within seconds of smelling of certain fragrances she gets a debilitating migraine. "Cleaning products fragrances are actually even worse for me because perfumes have some natural essential oils. They're based on real things. Cleaning products are almost always synthetic. So dish detergent, laundry detergent, fabric softener is the worst one for me." http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/clorox-lauded-for-listing-all-ingredients-amid-labelling-loophole-1.2789079?cmp=rss For people like I who have multiple allergies that can even precipitate severe allergic reactions and more this is a great help. So are people who realize that they can affect others when wearing perfume. Yesterday in the lab a woman sat next too me reeking of perfume, I got up right away but it was not soon enough, had to use my emergency pump twice.
