The Bad Effects of Smell Good

This things makes us feel seductive, it makes you feel feminine. For women, in short it makes you feel the complete woman. It also does a lot to our confidence. Its addictive effect made people stay around for as long as they could, take deep breaths, fantasizing, dreaming. Actually these things do a lot more to you - and believe me - it isn't all pleasant. There is another side of these things that seduces - it also hurts - and hurts badly.

         What am I talking about? It was actually a perfume and today I am here would like to tell you guys about the negative effects of perfume that affect people life. Frankly speaking, I was the person that perceives people who smell good differently, I respect them more, and I see them in a better light. But, it seems hard to believe that something that smells so good can be so harmful to your and others around you. I know most of you will not believe this; I did too, until I started researching about this. Among the negative effects of perfumes that are Allergies, Central Nervous System Disorders AND lastly Environmental Dangers that slowly affect our daily life.

1. Allergies

Perfumes exposed people to allergies. Perfumes have contributed to a type of allergy known as chemical sensitivity to fragrances and give several illnesses to the patient. Among the illness suffered by the patient was severe migraines and it usually last for 6 to 7 hours. Next, the patient may suffer from allergy symptoms. This will happen when allergic person becomes exposed to an allergen - protein particle ingested, inhaled, absorbed or injected that triggers a reaction. The immune system then overreacts causing sneezing, nasal itching, chest tightness and wheezing.

2. Central Nervous System Disorder

Most frighteningly, perfumes are known to affect the brain and central nervous system as well. Research has proved that there is a close connection between memory and scent. Many of the ingredients in fragrances are neurotoxins, meaning that they have poisonous effects on the brain and nervous system. Hence it is an acknowledged fact that chemical fragrances affect the brain tissue. Central nervous system disorders can result from some of the chemicals included in fragrances. Some of the ingredients like benzene derivatives can also potentially cause birth defects and cancer, according to the report published on EcoMall.

3. Environmental Dangers

Lastly, perfumes or fragrances can lead to environmental dangers. The chemicals associated with fragrances in household and beauty products are potentially dangerous for the planet. This had been proved by Christian Science Monitor through a research conducted in Stanford University. The study claims that the cells of mussels that absorb the dye used in fragrances and human beings are similar; thus the potential danger to people might be significant. Also, sewage treatments do not remove the chemicals associated with fragrances from bodies of water throughout the world. Countries such as Japan have banned certain       chemicals used in fragrances from being used to produce beauty and fragrance items.

                

Today we have seen that perfume can potentially cause serious bodily harm, even though it gives sweet odors to us.  Shakespeare claimed: “that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”  Thanks to today’s chemical industry, that is no longer true.  Worse than that, the potential health effects are anything but sweet.
