I know this is a crazy subject but I find more and more things affect me as far as smell is concerned. For some time now Cigarette smoke has bothered bothered me to the point that if I smell it on someone I have a headache all day.I've also found things with almost any perfume smell including laundry soap, deodorant, hairspray, hand lotion and many other products.Even the products that claim to be scent free are not. This is a real problem for my wife and my self.We have very dear friends that are the greatest people in the world but the wash there close in Gain a very pefumie Laundry detergent it is so strong when the come to visit the smell from their clothes stays on our upholstery for months after wards and going to their house just kills us and we have tried everything we could think of to neutralize the smell but to no avail. When they walk down the street we can smell them from 20feet away if our windows are open. Are we crazy or do other people have the same problem?

HOW DO FUMES AFFECT YOU?

I'll trade the burning mouth guard for a Topamax overdose ;-)) My dentist told me the same thing, I wore it for a while, but after he did a filling, my jaw got so sore I couldn't chew on that side. It got sore long enough later that I did not associate it with the filling at the time. Went in, but there was nothing wrong. I finally quit the mouth guard and it cleared up. BTW, we need to tell the dentists we check horses teeth by wear and they should check people that way too ;-))
The smell I can't stand in when the dog cuts loose after a helping of spicy food. SON! That is some bad shturf!!
Most of the scents used are synthetic NEUROTOXINS and many are proven CARCINOGENS. Yes - there are only tiny amounts in the products , but the exposure is 24/7 from multiple items. Who's crazy? You for knowing that you are sensitive to the perfumes or the people who use those products.

A lot of what was said is so true. I have my own theories, but then again everyone thinks I'm a nut, so I'll keep them to myself for now. Anyway, like some have written about their wife, my wife too can smell certain things a mile away. I seem to have a acute sense of smell for cleaning chemicals. Perhaps it goes back to when I was in industry and never bothered to protect myself from those chemicals. Today I can still taste those chemicals if I catch a whiff.
In the end, it probably comes down to age. Our taste change as we age, and with smell directly effecting our taste, both work hand-in-hand making our lives different. But, as many suggested - see a doctor. Perhaps there is something that they could do to help the situation.
Good luck Jim.

Most of the discount brand laundry detergents make my oldest daughter break out into a rash….
Whenever the first shift foreman in our crating dept. comes into our little engineering office, it makes the place stink like cigarette smoke for a day.
The absolute worste is that the "smokers shack" break area is outside my window….. and after break, I've had to go out and extinguish fires in the butt kit at least a half a dozen times. Even with my window up I can still smell the thing and after dowsing it with a pail of water, my clothes stink so bad I can't stand my own company. The last time I saw it smoldering I kept an eye on it, but didn't go out to extinguish it. And just as I hoped, the company owner saw it and put it out himself…. problem solved…. the next fire in the butt kit, the smokers shack goes away.
But my biggest problem is that they put a Keurig in our office, and now I'm craving a cup everytime I smell it.

I'm a former smoker and although I don't like the smell, it doesn't cause me any problems. My biggest problem is with women's perfumes and hairsprays. My wife puts hers on outside but when she comes in the house it gets pretty strong. I can't go anywhere near a Yankee Candle store, my sinuses feel like they're on fire. This past year my doctor had me on a med that made the smell of food unbearable. I'm no longer on that one!!! There are a lot of smells that bother me but I don't have any problem with any finishes or solvents in the shop.
