the solution is.....wear ZERO FRAGRANCES

because even if you use just a little bit of fragrance, someone with MCS may get very sick, and especially in class, it can make it impossible for someone with MCS to concentrate & learn & they may fail the class

did you know that....fragrances are made with many chemicals that can hurt your body & make you sick?

therefore if you wear ZERO FRAGRANCES you are respecting those around you, plus it's good for YOU too......now how COOL is that?!!!

[WeGottaMakeItStop]

hey Guys

how COOL that you made a vid about Fragrance Allergies (also called Multiple Chemical Sensitivity - MCS)

you all look great in the vid...and it's excellent that YOU ARE TEACHING THE WORLD……FANTASTIC !!!

Great Job! Next time add LAUNDRY to the list of products that should be fragrance-free. Not only is this the biggest problem for many other kids, but it forces YOU to smell like LAUNDRY ALL the time. Is that what you want? Yuck.

Great video. Thank you for doing it. I have MCS and it is really hard to live in this world. Most people don't realize that all of it is toxic. All those products have petroleum chemicals in it. I loved the music you used. Again thank you

Great video guys! People need to know how fragrances can cause a lot of problems for people. Fragrances are really bad for everyone's health, not just those who might show symptoms straight away. There are just so many toxic chemicals in them (and so many everyday products) and most people have no idea. Thanks for raising awareness!

You're absolutely right! I'm allergic to Dove soap. That scent makes me sneeze all the time...

Bravo! Great message! Perfume allergies are most likely "Multiple Chemical Sensitivity", which can be life threatening to some people. Yes, perfume can kill. Perfume has many carcinogens and neurotoxins. They aren't healthy for anyone! Thanks for the message!
