wtf are in plug in air fresheners?

[giraffesCantDonateBoneMarrow]

Been away from one for 12 hours and chest still wheezey, tight and coughing.

What effect have they had on anyone else?

Devil spit.

I can't cope with air fresheners. They make me feel really ill. Plug-in ones have me reaching for the Ventolin.

You're not supposed to use anything like this if your asthmatic. Not even joss sticks/candles (according to the nice lady in the Body Shop).

Lots of perfumes have a neuro-toxic effect! Why poison the air you breathe? Awful things.

I was staying at a friends lastnight and she had them, back in my own house now but lungs seem to still be feeling the effect.

I don't understand how people can breathe them in all the time.

They give me a headache, some perfumes do too. I don't know whats in them but I don't like it!

Oh yes make me wheezy too.

Some are stronger than others I think but anything like that is going to have chemicals in that are bad for your lungs. My sil used to spray air freshners directly above lo after changing his nappy, guess what, he now has asthma:(

I know the chemicals in them can be responsible for killing tropical fish, so whatever is in them can't be good :(

they make me wheezy too and give me a headache. what's wrong with opening windows for fresh air?

I have heard they've even been linked to depression!

When we had our last house rewired the electrician said that plug in air fresheners were really dangerous and were often the cause of house fires.

My next door neighbour must have dozens because when she opens her back door my back garden ends up stinking and I have to go inside Really, it's that strong, even dh complains about the smell from her house. They make me feel very nauseous and headachy. They contain neurotoxins.

I've heard that too Bunbaker, they shoudn't be allowed.
